Two of the girls have been charged with assault with a deadly weapon and conspiracy, and two others have been charged with simple assault and conspiracy, said Providence Police Sgt. Matthew Ryan.

The 12-year-old suffered two black eyes, a bruised nose and bite marks on her hands. Holly Gingerella, the girl’s mother, said, “My daughter is doing OK. She doesn’t look very good, but she’s a strong child.” She said her daughter has a shunt in her brain to aid with a medical problem, but the shunt was not damaged in the assault. The man posted the video of the incident on YouTube, where he shows his face to the camera and describes the attack, “Kids are (expletive) sitting outside for like 20 minutes saying, ‘Don’t do this, don’t do that. You gotta keep going, you gotta keep fighting.’ They’re like planning it so they can just record it.” While he speaks, girls can be heard shouting in the background.
LE: No man in his right mind would intervene when girls are fighting, and I’m not talking only about catfights from Bukowski. It’s a matter of survival: girls might turn on you and then you’ll be faced with the difficult choice of whether to defend yourself (and be violent with a woman) or let them beat the crap out of you. Whatever you do, to another chivalrous man (possibly a police officer) it may seem as if you are attacking girls and nobody will believe your story.
