Police in the Poconos are looking for a group of rowdy teens who allegedly attacked a family outside a movie theater.

The incident happened at the Stroud Mall in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania during an Easter Sunday showing of the Fast and Furious 7.

Cindy Santamaria-Williams says three girls sitting behind her were rowdy and cursing.

The woman told them to be quiet then complained to management.

After the movie, she says the three girls and other teens were waiting outside.

"They immediately jumped on me and knocked me to the ground. They all punched me in the face and I think that's what knocked me to the ground," said Santamaria-Williams.

The woman and her sister-in-law were hurt.

Police say the teens involved likely could face simple assault charges.
