The female brute who led the
beating of a 15-year-old girl in a Brooklyn McDonald’s — a savage attack caught on video and shared across the globe — is in police custody, sources said.
Charges are pending against the 17-year-old who was seen throwing haymakers at the outnumbered victim — and then stomping on her head after the teen appeared to go unconscious.
The unidentified aggressor, whose shirt was pulled off in the fight and kept up her attack wearing only a purple bra, is a student at Erasmus Hall High School, witnesses said.
The victim, also a student at Erasmus Hall High, returned home from the hospital Thursday morning, her grandmother said.
A police source said the victim appeared as if she had been beaten up by a pro boxer.
“Her face looked like a punching bag,” the source said. “Her nose was broken, and she didn’t even know it.”
Still the victim refused to cooperate with police, the sources said.

When her parents came into her hospital room, the source added, she told her mother, “Don’t say anything.”
Even though the girl didn’t cooperate, the police has the power to make an arrest, the police source said.
“When something this violent happens and with the extent of the injuries this girl had, even though she didn’t want to press charges, the NYPD can step in and make an arrest,” the source said.
“The NYPD has to step in for the community. We would like her to file a complaint, though, it would go a long way if this went to trial.”
The woman in custody was one of four girls who mercilessly brutalized the victim inside the crowded Flatbush Ave. fast food joint.
None of the witnesses — many of whom were cheering during the after-school onslaught — dialed 911, though McDonald’s workers did call, police said.
One callous onlooker even joked as the girl lay on the floor, “Yo, she’s dead. It’s a murder!”
The victim was hospitalized overnight Monday but collapsed Wednesday at home and was rushed to SUNY Downstate Medical Center, her devastated grandmother said.
“She can’t sleep because she got kicked to the body,” the grandmother said as tears streamed down her cheeks . “She fell again and they had to take her to the hospital.”
The girl has two black eyes and multiple bruises, a police source said. Despite being beaten to a pulp, the teen has refused to talk to police, officials said.
She’s apparently afraid of retaliation — some of the girls who attacked her have links to the Young Savages, a violent crew that operates out of Crown Heights, police sources said.
On Wednesday — two days after
the 2:50 p.m. attack, which took place right after school dismissal at Erasmus — community leaders called for the victimized teen and witnesses to come forward and press charges.
“We are asking that young lady to not be afraid,” community activist Tony Herbert said outside the McDonald’s near Church Ave. where the attack took place — a known trouble spot. “Come forward. We will stand with her. ”
