Three Teens Charged with Greg Grant Park Beating in Trenton

Trenton New Jersey

A video posted on social media has led to charges against three juveniles that repeatedly punched and kicked two sisters at Greg Grant Park in Trenton this week. 

A video posted recorded by onlookers showed how 17-year-old Lajahia Cooke and her sister, 16-year-old Destiny Cook were violently attacked. Lajahia Cooke obtained 15 stitches after being struck in the ear with a brick. Destiny Cooke was left with a bald spot after a chunk of hair, was yanked. 

According to police, two girls - 15 and 13 - and a 12-year-old boy are facing aggravated assault charges. All three juveniles were charged and released to their parents or guardians last night, with court-ordered ankle monitors to track their locations.

The investigation is ongoing and more arrests are expected, added police.
