Beatdown and then wheels up.
The bra-baring ringleader of the vicious McDonald’s attack was behind bars at Rikers Island held on $500,000 bond, as authorities grabbed a second teen suspect trying to flee the country on a plane bound for Jamaica.
The 15-year-old suspect was apprehended in Atlanta just moments away from flying off to the Caribbean. Atlanta authorities had been alerted to the brute’s travel plans and pulled her off the plane, officials said.
Of the four other girls implicated in the brawl, two other girls were awaiting arraignment in Brooklyn Friday — and two others were still on the lam.
“It appears they have been lying low,” a high-ranking police source said of the remaining suspects. “We couldn’t find them at home or school.”
One of the two girls being held was identified as 17-year-old Tilani Marshall of Midwood. The other, a 15-year-old, was not named by police. Both teens were marched from the 70th Precinct stationhouse with their hands cuffed just after midnight and were awaiting arraignment on robbery and gang assault charges.
Neither spoke as they tried to cover their faces from the cameras. One, wearing jeans and Uggs, buried her nose in her grey zip-up sweatshirt. The other pulled her purple hood over her head and kept her head down.
Word of the additional arrests came hours after the Daily News obtained stunning details of 16-year-old Aniah Ferguson’s confession to cops.
Ferguson, smiling for the cameras after her arrest on Thursday, told investigators she had been hunting her prey since January because the victim had “done something to a very close friend,” a source said.
She was hit with felony gang assault and robbery charges which could land her in prison for up to 25 years. The troubled teen with a history of violence faced the court alone, without support from friends or family. She said nothing when Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Joy Campanelli sent her to jail on a stunning half-million dollar bond.
But the teen hell-raiser ran her mouth to detectives after getting picked up Thursday morning.
Ferguson’s exhaustive confession — summarized by a source — portrays a group of girls bent on exacting revenge.
Six girls were hanging out at one of their homes Monday when an unidentified male called to tell them that victim Ariana Taylor, 15, was inside a nearby McDonald’s.
Since there are two of the fast food joints in the area, the girls split up.
Ferguson and at least one of her pals found Taylor at the Flatbush Ave. eatery.
They told a girl inside the McDonald’s with Taylor that the pint-sized Erasmus Hall High School freshman was going to “get it.”
They warned the girl that “they will jump (her) if she got involved.”
Taylor was getting ready to leave, so Ferguson called a friend and told her to “hurry up.”
Once the other friend showed up, they approached Taylor and “put the beats on her,” the source said.
Minutes went by before an adult intervened. Several onlookers snapped photos and took video as Taylor was punched, kicked, pulled and stomped by a half-dozen girls.
The three-minute attack — caught on video and shared across the globe — was denounced by a parade of pols and police officials.
Some witnesses can be heard in the video cheering on the violence.
It wasn’t until Taylor was limp on the floor, with Ferguson stomping on her head, that a couple of customers stepped between them.
Ferguson’s hoodie came off amid the melee. But she kept punching and kicking Taylor while wearing only a purple bra.
Even after Taylor was lying motionless , Ferguson stomped her repeatedly because she was “still mad” about what the victim had done to her friend. A different police source said the clash was tied to a shooting, but didn’t provide details.
Ferguson walked out of the McDonald’s with Taylor’s coat, makeup bag and phone — and tossed them in the garbage, authorities said.
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams is offering a $1,000 reward — cash he is putting up personally — for information leading to the arrest of the other suspects.
At Ferguson’s Friday arraignment, prosecutor Leila Rosini emphasized the brutality of the attack.
“As the victim lies lifeless, she continues to kick her,” Rosini said.
The prosecutor told the judge that Ferguson, who has a 1-year-old daughter and a long rap sheet, belongs to the Young Savages gang.
The gang is an offshoot of Folk Nation, a violent group known to carry out credit card scams.
Defense lawyer Sarah O’Leary pleaded for leniency from the judge, saying that Ferguson was trying to turn her life around.
“She was making some efforts to better things in her life,” said O’Leary.
O’Leary said the video “speaks for itself,” but claimed Taylor didn’t sustain serious injuries in the mob-style assault. The victim suffered a concussion and multiple bruises and contusions on her body, court records show.
A police source said Ferguson was targeting Taylor because of her involvement in a previous shooting. No other details were available Friday.
Taylor, who has links to the 30 Crips gang and has been bragging about her newfound fame on social media, has not been fully cooperative with police, sources said.
But investigators were still able to quickly identify her attackers.
One of the 15-year-old suspects surrendered Friday at the 70th Precinct stationhouse with her mother at her side.
The other was joined by her lawyer when she was taken into custody, sources said. The suspects were not immediately identified.
Ferguson was well-known to cops.
The Brooklyn teen has been arrested six times since she turned 16 last July. She was busted on Feb. 3 for stabbing her brother in the arm with a knife. Four months earlier, on Oct. 14, 2014, she was charged with assault for beating up her 64-year-old grandmother.
At the time of Ferguson’s arrest, she had four outstanding warrants, prosecutors said.
Neighbors described her as a deeply troubled ticking time bomb.
Even Ferguson’s own mother has refused to come to her defense.
“I didn’t raise her like this,” she told The News Thursday. “I’m not sure why she did it.”
Couple this with the libtard moron mayor who just forbid school suspensions, especially of black students, unless teachers and administrators go through a very lengthy and time consuming paper trail, and I find this frightening for the future of our country.
Just another Ferguson story.
Very frightening. God bless you in your work, and thank you for doing it.
It want's just her, it was half a dozen with another dozen cheering it all on. No one in that restaurant stepped in.
Wasn’t too...
I haven’t watched it, but this is one of the videos. You may want to forward.
I have been there, and done that. I've taught in urban schools for more than 20 years. There is nothing like the violence of a black girl-on-girl fight. You just don't see that violence with white girls, or with boys of any color. I suppose that someone will write a PhD paper on that someday.
But I will say this. When it comes to true psychopathic behavior, drop-dead evil behavior, in my experience that's almost always the white boys. Again, I suppose that someone will write a PhD paper on that someday.
my second bit of advice is protect yourself....
this thuggish behavior is just a sign of low intelligence....I am convinced of that...otherwise I'd have to say their just evil....I don't know which is worse....
but no matter, this so called people are extremely dangerous because they can't think beyond 5"...
“Several onlookers snapped photos and took video as Taylor was punched, kicked, pulled and stomped by a half-dozen girls.”
I’m not sure who’s worse: the thugs that beat this girl, or the slime who thought it more important to get a good youtube upload than to help her.
Their behavior, black or white, is a damning statement on the collapse of parenting skills in urban environments. I, for one, do not buy these mothers' statements in the press, "They are a good kid just turning their life around." Baloney! With these "parents" always covering for them, they don't have a chance of learning right from wrong.
“She was busted on Feb. 3 for stabbing her brother in the arm with a knife. Four months earlier, on Oct. 14, 2014, she was charged with assault for beating up her 64-year-old grandmother”
Oy.
No cell phones? Our fish-guts-for-brains Mayor DeBlahblah just LIFTED the ban on cell phones in schools. Which of course is immediately misinterpreted by our little classroom jailhouse lawyers. They can have a cell phone in their book bag but not have it out. That's equivalent to telling dieters "You can have a chocolate eclair in your purse, just don't eat it." But the STUDENTS think it's a big endorsement that they can have their cell phones OUT and in OPERATION---calling, texting, recording each other or the teacher, taking unauthorized photos. Believe me, when they have their phones out, they are NOT in the room as far as paying the slightest iota of attention to the lesson at hand. It's one of the current biggest detriments to learning. And this anal orifice mayor had to do this. Couple this with his recent edict forbidding suspensions, especially of black students, and it's like being a passenger on an airplane heading 90 degrees south at full speed.
Before the commie mayor’s term is up new yorkers will be begging Giuliani to run again.
And the murders at McDonalds College Station
For the crime of being white
Crickets
And the reason none of those four warrants was served on her during the Feb 3 incident was?
Someone always has to say the turning their life around thing, always!
We have brought up a brood of Zombies away from the culture of lawful employment to the way of the illegal drug industry. When people say that blacks have the highest unemployment, that is describing lawful employment. It does not consider the fact that the black culture has gone rogue. They have gone the route of unlawful employment and it has gone generational: one generation’s illegal culture is handed down to the next. The core of it all is the illegal drug industry: illegal drugs fuel the entire matrix, from robbery to prostitution, identity theft and violent crime.
Much can be blamed to the absent father from the black home. Among blacks, nearly 5 million children, or 54 percent, live with only their mother. Twelve percent of black families below the poverty line have two parents present, compared with 41 percent of impoverished Hispanic families and 32 percent of poor white families. Perhaps black males sense their risky employment puts their children at risk. Worse, responsible fatherhood has been replaced with promiscuous sex. When you go rogue, you go all the way. The drug culture is most to blame for how it changes cultural priorities; even when it comes to kids.
The example of the parents have been handed down to the children. It shows in how they treat each other. For instance, in violent crime, the offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites (per 100,000), and the victim rate 6 times higher (per 100,000). Most murders were 93% of black victims murdered by blacks.
I once walked into a bar and there were 3 women beating up another woman. I just generally asked the men around me to break it up and none of them moved. So I figured it had to be me.
I grabbed the woman who was on top of her and told her to stop, then the woman that was kicking her came at me, I was terrified! I literally weighed 98 pounds and she weighed about 200. I had never slugged anyone and she was coming at me with her fists flailing. I just stepped too close for her to hit me and stuck my hands under her arms and grabbed her hair and pulled her head back.
By that time my husband arrived (I’m pretty sure it was on a white steed) and told her to let me go. He told her didn’t want to hit a woman but if she didn’t back off, he would. I can’t believe how stupid I was.
The woman they beat up was close to death and it took her months to recover.
Nothing happened to any of the women, I was interviewed by the police but I never testified in court. The woman that came at me was known for always being in trouble and her father always bought her out of it and maybe that’s what happened, I don’t know.
“Please tell me how it differs from a tribe on an uncharted island.”
The non-black “administrators” that attempt to keep them somewhat civilized while providing for their every need. They are the Eloi from “The Time Machine”, who awake each morning to find everything laid out for them from someone else.
