Philadelphia police are on the hunt for eight suspects in connection to the brutal beating of a woman on a downtown street late last month.
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.
The attack took place just a block from City Hall, WPVI-TV reported.
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.
There was no word on possible motives for the assault, WPVI said.
Police added that you shouldn’t approach these suspects if you see them; instead contact 911 immediately.
