Some 100 officers rushed to the scene earlier this month to break up the crowd.

They eventually drove the crowd to a shopping center across the street from the celebration.

A total of 12 people were arrested that night, and 10 of them were teenagers.

Police say three other suspects, labeled as "Suspect 002", "Suspect 003", and "Suspect 004," were also captured on video kicking and stomping on a defenseless victim near the Veterans Park basketball nets.
