The incident happened in the heart of downtown at North 10th Street, between Locust and Olive streets.

“We feel like we have the main aggressor,” Howard said.

The victim received numerous head and facial injuries, including broken eye sockets and teeth.

Howard said police are still putting their case together. He said he was unable to provide more details about the alleged assailant because it is a juvenile case.

Howard said the teens are students at a charter school near downtown.

Monday’s beating came about a week after two women were beaten by a group of girls in two incidents in the same general area.

One woman, 22, was carrying her groceries home when she was attacked by four girls ranging in age from 12 to 14 in the 1200 block of Washington Avenue about 6:50 p.m. on Oct. 25.
