Cruel teenagers caught on video cackling with laughter as they slap and taunt elderly man on subway in sickening attack
Two men filmed by a third slapping elderly man and laughing at him
Slaps become so hard they are audible, man tries and fails to fight back
Video shared on Facebook prompted police investigation
One of the gang - which remains at large - told a radio station they were reacting to the white man's racial slurs
Quote:
A manhunt has been launched to find two young men who were filmed slapping and taunting an elderly man on a subway train in Chicago.
The men, both African American in their late teens or early 20s, towered over their victim as they laughed and jumped around him, hitting his head, on a CTA Blue Line train.
At one point the slaps become so hard they are audible on the clip, which was filmed by their friend and posted on Facebook.
Launching their attack: The conflict on Chicago's CTA Blue Line train started with this slap, filmed by a friend
Escalated: Another friend leaped into the action and laughed loudly as he jumped around slapping the old man
Quote:
Though the man tries to kick back and gingerly lifts an arm to swipe at them, they cackle with laughter and jump out the way.
Police are now appealing for anyone that recognizes the men in the video to come forward.
Quote:
A spokesman for the CTA said: 'Though this crime apparently was not reported, because neither CTA nor Chicago Police have a report of the incident, we are pulling additional video to share with police as part of a now-open investigation.
'We encourage members of the public who witness a crime to report it immediately, especially if they have evidence such as a video. Incidents like this are rare on the CTA.'
I'm not even gonna watch the video because I'll be truly disturbed but I'm assuming no one in that train helped the elderly man smh and these idiots just like the the others record their wrong doing and upload it thinking its cool because they have this belief that they will get away with it. We are in the last days for sure because people are getting worse as the years go by and with society not allowing discipline this is gonna become the norm for the next generation.
Of course one of their own would tell a radio station that. Even if his claim is true, NOBODY
should ever gang up on a defenseless elderly person, no matter how horrible they are.
I hope they catch these guys. It is not nice to attack elderly or mentally ill people.
