A horrifying video from New York has sparked nationwide outrage after a 14-year-old boy was caught on camera brutally body-slamming a 15-year-old girl to the concrete and then stomping on her head, all because she refused to give him her phone number.
Now, the boy’s mother is publicly defending her son, claiming the victim was “bullying” him and that his savage and animalistic attack was somehow justified because he is a “humble” Christian.
The shocking attack occurred around 3:30 p.m. on Monday at the corner of East 107th Street and Third Avenue in East Harlem, just after school let out.
The 15-year-old girl, a ninth-grade student-athlete at East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School heading to squash practice, was confronted by the 14-year-old masked suspect, who had reportedly been harassing her for weeks.
In the disturbing footage, the girl is seen trying to walk away and yelling, “Get the f–k away from me.”
The boy follows her, grabs her from behind, lifts her off the ground, slams her to the pavement, and then stomps directly on her head.
His friends can be heard laughing and egging him on as the girl lies motionless on the ground.

The girl suffered a concussion and was rushed to Harlem Hospital.
The 14-year-old suspect was arrested on Wednesday and appeared in Manhattan Family Court, where he was ordered held in custody by the Division of Youth and Family Justice.
Because both parties are minors, his name has not been publicly released.
In an interview captured outside the courthouse, the boy’s mother, Selma Allen, issued a wild defense of her violent son.

Allen claimed the 15-year-old girl had been bullying him in school, sending messages, and even pushing him down, and that this somehow justified the vicious attack.
“She was being a bully to him, that’s it,” Allen told reporters.
“He’s been complaining about her. I bring it to the principal’s attention but he don’t address it. The way my son is being bullied, he doesn’t want to go to school.”
She claimed her son is a “quiet” boy who “doesn’t provoke nobody,” and described him as a “humble Christian.”
“He don’t provoke nobody. But if you provoke him, he will lash out.”
Allen insisted her son had proof on WhatsApp and Instagram and repeatedly shifted blame onto the victim while downplaying the savage stomp on the girl’s head.
None of the reporters asked the obvious question: if the girl was truly bullying him, why was he aggressively demanding her phone number and following her?
The victim’s mother, Lucinda Arroyo, spoke out Thursday in an interview with the New York Post. She said her daughter had been dealing with weeks of harassment from the boy and said it was a “miracle” her daughter survived.
“She’s very upset that her whole life has been completely flipped upside down right now,” Arroyo said. “She’s known him as someone who’s bad news for a while.”
“This is not even bullying, this is outright assault — and he could have killed her,” she asserted.
Her daughter was left with a concussion, bleeding, a potential brain injury, crushing headaches and a twisted neck, and will require ongoing physical therapy.
