INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A video showing a female brutally attacking another female in Indianapolis has surfaced online.

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officials confirm they are aware of the video and that a detective who works on cases involving juveniles has been assigned to the case. The Cyber Crimes Unit does have a copy of the video, according to police.
