PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia police are searching for three suspects in the violent attack of a teen that was caught on tape.
The assault happened at about 12:45 a.m. on November 16th in the 900 block of N. 4th Street in the city's Kensington neighborhood.
According to investigators, the 17-year-old victim left a friend's house and was waiting outside to get a ride home when he was approached by the three suspects.
Without warning, one of the suspects sucker-punched the victim, knocking him to the ground. The two other suspects also joined in, kicking and punching the victim in the head.
