Supermarket thugs use YouTube to brag

In the video that apparently was shot by one of the perpetratrors - posted Sunday with a tweet reading "Tomas, Jay and I catching wreck at Path Mart around the mills lmao. Gotta see this!" - one of the young thugs can be heard taunting the victim as the person filming and two other teens laugh.

"I'll smack the s--- out you, you b---- a-- n----," one teen says before the scuffle.

The unidentified victim was treated at a hospital for a laceration to his right cheek and a broken nose and released, police said.

Evers said that detectives were reviewing the videos and had tracked down the Facebook pages of teens believed to be involved, but hadn't officially identified suspects as of Tuesday night.

The four suspects were described as: a 5-foot-8 Hispanic man with a medium complexion, earrings and a nose ring who was wearing a baseball cap, a blue jacket, a T-shirt and tan shorts; a 6-foot Hispanic man with glasses and a goatee who was wearing a long-sleeve red shirt and tan pants; a stocky 5-foot-6 Hispanic or Asian man who was wearing a blue track suit; and a Hispanic woman with dark hair about halfway down her back who was wearing a red coat and blue jeans. A sixth person in the video is apparently another shopper.

The incident was reminiscent of last week's arrest of six teenage girls in Chester who allegedly had filmed themselves beating a mentally disabled woman and posted the video online.
