Teen Assaulted And Robbed Halloween Night In Brooklyn Park

BROOKLYN PARK, Md. (WJZ) --  Anne Arundel County Police are investigating after a teen was assaulted and robbed on Halloween night.

It happened on 10th Avenue and Valley Road in Brooklyn Park.

The group then began to kick and hit the victim with sticks. The victim's cell phone was forcibly removed from his hands.  The group then ran away.
