SAN FRANCISCO, CAโThree of four teen suspects ranging from 11 to 18 years old were arrested for the savage attack and robbery of an elderly Asian woman in San Francisco, police announced on Monday.
The 70-year-old Asian woman was beaten and robbed on July 31 in the 100 block of Francisco Street, police said.
The victim told police she was standing in the front of a building when she was approached by the four teens who asked her for the time.
After replying to the teens, she turned to enter the lobby of the building and was then followed inside.
The teens immediately attacked the victim, repeatedly punching and stomping her to submission. The victim tried to escape by attempting to shut the lobby door, however, her actions angered the teens and she was beaten once again and robbed.
The brutal crime was captured by CCTV cameras.

The victim was taken to a local hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
During a Monday press conference, San Francisco police identified the suspects as 18-year-old Darryl Moore, of Oakland, and an 11, 13, and 14-year-old, reports KTVU.
Moore, along with the 11 and 13-year-old, were arrested Wednesday in Milpitas in connection with an unrelated crime. The 14-year-old has not yet been located, although a warrant has been issued for their arrest.
The 11-year-old wonโt be charged in the case because of their age.
San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott called the arrests โreally, really sadโ given their age. The 18-year-oldโs mugshot wonโt be released because Chief Scott believes it will perpetuate negative black stereotypes.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins spoke out at the press conference and said, โI think a greater dialogue and discussion has to begin when we are seeing our children involved in these types of crimes. I think it sends a message to us all that we need to do more as a community in San Francisco, more broadly, to discuss how we got to this point.โ
