3 juveniles in custody in assault by Philly teens
Police say three juveniles have turned themselves in to authorities in connection with an assault by a group of young people in Philadelphia last month.
Officials said a group of teenagers attacked a 36-year-old man who was walking by them on July 29 in Old City just blocks from Independence Hall. Officials identified the teens as summer school students at Mastery Charter, located a few blocks away from the attack.
On the same day, random attacks by teenagers elsewhere in Center City injured several other people. An 11-year-old boy was among those arrested.
