Chicago Teen Beating: Gang Shouting Racial Slurs Attacks Teen, Video

17-year-old from Chicago was brutally beaten by a pack of six attackers while an accomplice recorded the pummeling that's been posted online.

Police say they're investigating the attack that ends with the victim bleeding from the lip and running shoeless down a snowy street in the city's Bridgeport neighborhood on Sunday afternoon, The Chicago Tribune reports.

The footage, which has appeared on YouTube, begins with the attack already underway. For more than three minutes, the victim is punched in the face and kicked repeatedly. At times he is hit in the head with a sneaker and dragged across the ground.

Many of the gang's faces are concealed by hooded sweatshirts, but those that are visible appear to be young white males. They utter the N-word repeatedly as they taunt and strike the victim, who appears to be Asian.
