A young couple in Brooklyn were beaten up Monday in what police are calling a racially-motivated attack.
30-year-old Ronald Russo and his wife Alanna, also 30, were stopped at the intersection of Avenue U and East 58 Street near Kings Plaza Shopping Center Monday when they had the green light.
Mr Russo couldn't go though because a group of teenagers were blocking his way, so he honked his horn.
The group of 10 black youths ranging in age from 12 to 18, including a 12-year-old girl, got agitated and started kicking his car.
Things got worse when my Russo got out of his vehicle to survey the damage.
The kids turned their attention to Mr Russo, dragging him to the ground and began punching and kicking his head.
During the attack, the group reportedly shouted slurs at the couple including 'White motherfuckers!'
According to court papers, some of them screamed: 'Get those crackers! Get that white whore!'
Mr Russo suffered a fractured nose, a broken septum, a blood clot and abrasions to his shoulder.
While calling 911, Mrs Russo was singled out by the 12-year-old girl who grabbed her by the hair and threw her on the ground. She suffered a black eye and was bleeding but refused medical attention.
Her husband was taken to Beth Israel Medical Center where he was treated and released. His iPhone was stolen during the attack, according to police.
