SEPTA POLICE are investigating a vicious attack on two Benjamin Franklin High School students caught on video Tuesday on a subway platform in the Spring Garden station, officials said yesterday.
Nobody involved in the beating - including the victims - reported the brutal crime to SEPTA police, Philadelphia police or school district officials, SEPTA Police Chief Thomas Nestel III said.
In the video, time-stamped just after 3:15 p.m., about a dozen teens - all believed to be students, according to officials - appear to be participating in the attack or egging it on. At one point, one of the assailants, wearing a light gray sweatshirt with the hood covering his head, fell onto the tracks. He quickly pulled himself back onto the platform and joined the fray once again. A girl is seen trying to videotape the pummeling of a male victim, and one assailant also stomped on the victim's head.
The attack lasted 1 minute, 5 seconds, SEPTA officials said.
"It's an outrageous event. This is so dangerous, it's not even funny," Nestel told reporters at a news conference. "We have operating trains down there. There are passengers waiting for the train . . . It's horrendous."
