Teen's jaw, teeth broken in brutal attack in Philadelphia
KENSINGTON (WPVI) -- A 17-year-old boy had just left a friend's house when three unknown men approached him on a narrow street. A surveillance camera captured the horrific moments that followed.

Police say the teenager was outside, waiting for someone to pick him up, when the three suspects approached.
