A woman has been savagely assaulted by teenagers wielding bats and wooden planks, amid a rash of similar attacks in Baltimore on Halloween night.

Baltimore officials say there were at least four similar attacks in the city's upscale Federal Hill neighborhood on Tuesday night, involving a group of around a dozen young males and females.

Cops have not released any description of the suspects, except to say that some appeared as young as 13.

'I feel lucky to be alive. It could have been a lot worse,' the female victim who was beaten and robbed told WMTW.

The woman suffered a broken eye socket, broken nose and lacerations on both of her knees

The woman, who asked not to be identified, was walking to meet friends a Federal Hill bar called Barfly's when a group of young people jumped out of an alley and grabbed her from behind.

'I had a red down-like vest on, so they grabbed the back of my vest and then held me, and then out in front of them came six young women with wood pieces that were like maybe an inch thick and about three feet long,' she said.

'They started hitting me with the wood, in the knees, a lot in my face,' she said.

'A couple of blows too hard I realized I couldn't stand up anymore, so I went to the ground on my knees,' she said. 'By the time I was on the ground, I was screaming and begging for them to stop.'

Luckily, a man nearby heard her screams for help and sprinted toward the attack, scaring away the assailants.

'He kept apologizing that he was late, but he came right on time and I'm completely thankful for that,' she said.

The woman suffered a broken eye socket, broken nose and lacerations on both of her knees.

The suspects stole her cellphone, she said.

Jeff Brown, the victim's boyfriend, said something needs to be done about what he describes as a growing trend

Jeff Brown, the victim's boyfriend, said something needs to be done about what he describes as a growing trend.

'I wish more people would take responsibility for knowing where their children are and what they're doing because it's pretty unfortunate to see kids at this age committing these types of crimes,' Brown said.

Police said that similar violent incidents stretched from downtown to the Homeland neighborhood in north Baltimore on Halloween.

'It's pathetic, it's ridiculous, and people need to control their kids,' said T.J. Smith, Baltimore Police Chief Spokesman.

'This is violent behavior, and then people are going to want to get upset and yell and point fingers when someone takes the law into their own hands and does something to one of these kids that are committing violent acts,' said Smith.
