Six suspects between the ages of 11 and 14 are now in custody in connection with the brutal beating of a woman on a Philadelphia street that left the victim unconscious late last month, police told WPVI-TV.
Police told the station five of the six suspects in custody surrendered, while the sixth suspect — a 14-year-old female — was arrested at her home. There are eight suspects total.
Investigators added to WPVI that there's a warrant for another 14-year-old female and authorities are still working to identify a juvenile male suspect.
What's the background? The department said several people in a group assaulted a 33-year-old woman at 15th and Chestnut Streets just after 7 p.m. Feb. 23.
Police said the attackers knocked the woman to the ground and continued to punch and stomp her until she was unconscious. Police are calling it an aggravated assault.

A portion of the attack was captured on surveillance video, and images of all eight suspects also were captured:

Police said the victim suffered injuries to her head, face, and body; she was transported to Jefferson Hospital for her injuries.
Police noted that seven of the eight suspects are now identified and asked for the public's help in identifying the eighth suspect:
My wife has less compassion than I do, so they would be in trouble should they decide to ‘jackal’ her.
I could live with option “B”.
This is right smack in a main Center City shopping street, a block from City Hall.
As did I. Still miss the old days and many of the museums and institutions; but the old days are gone forever.
Left the keys in the ignition and the car running. No, baby. I turn everything off, lock the car and hold my keys and pepper spray when I get out to pump gas, even in relatively safe suburbs. Got my training where I used to live — in a big city.
Oops, ignore the last post; meant for another thread.
