STATEN ISLAND (WABC) -- Residents are outraged after a group of teenagers chased down a 62-year-old man and beat him.
New York State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton has introduced legislation to allow the existence of extraordinary circumstances and significant physical injury to charge minors as adults.
"Our District Attorney should be able to keep cases of violent crime such as gang assault that happened in this situation," Scarcella-Spanton said.
