A group of around 15 teenagers in a flapper and Joker costume attacked the van of a woman with rocks and left two kids in great horror. A teenager, who looked like at least 18-year-old, used a big rock to break the back window of the woman's car and opened the door and started beating the woman's 11-year-old son.
Last Saturday night, around 9:30 p.m. a woman was driving home her 11-year-old son and his son's classmate from an event in school. They stopped at an intersection of Rockhill Road and Emanuel Cleaver II Boulevard where a group of teens approached their car and attacked them.
The woman recalled that an older-looking teenager used a giant rock to smash the car's back window. When the car window was shattered the teenager immediately reached for the car door and started hitting her 11-year-old son. She described the assailant as wearing a flapper and the Joker costume and looked like at least 18 years of age.
The attack left the two kids in great shock. "The kids were hysterical. They were just hysterical. My little guy was traumatized," The Kansas City Star quoted the woman as saying. She added that if the members of the group of teenagers could be located, she would like for them to meet her son and see how the attack affected the 11-year-old boy. The woman also shared that she has mixed emotions over the incident and she felt horrible.
Kansas City authorities, who have responded to the attack, are still investigating the attack. The woman was told by the police that the teen assailants responsible for the assault on their van had been the same attackers that authorities had spotted making havoc at the Country Club Plaza earlier that evening.
Meanwhile, no arrests and report have been made by the police. Police brought a suspect into custody, whom they found few blocks from the original scene, but the woman said it was not the person who attacked her and her son, the KCTVNews5 has learned.
