(WSVN) — The alleged victim of a brutal beat down is speaking out after the attack was recorded, then posted online.
Celina Bennet, 18, is a student at an alternative school for at-risk teens in Oakland Park.
Celina said she was walking home when six to eight girls jumped her. “I had walked away, and as I’m walking to the bus stop, that’s when a whole group of girls were in the car and just came out and jumped me,” Celina said. “I don’t even know any of them.”
The 18-year-old said she was followed home. “It’s just crazy because I’ve never been jumped like that before, and it was a new experience. All I could do was take the hits,” she said.
Someone recorded the fight and posted the video on YouTube, which pained the teen’s father, Ben Bennet, to see. “I’ve never had to deal with a situation where the crime was against my child,” he said, “so I couldn’t view it. It was very difficult to see her on the ground and having that many people attacking her when she wasn’t even able to provide a defense. It was very difficult.”
