The 16-year-old girl caught on camera stomping the victim in a gang beating in a Brooklyn McDonald’s has been taken into custody. She was charged with gang assault and robbery, police said.
The female brute who led a mob of teens inbeating a 15-year-old girl in a Brooklyn McDonald’s — a savage attack caught on video and shared across the globe — was arrested Thursday, police said.
Aniah Ferguson, 16, was identified as the hoodie-wearing assailant seen throwing haymakers at the outnumbered victim — and then stomping on her head after the teen went limp, police said.
SAM COSTANZA FOR NEW YORK DAILY NEWSAniah Ferguson, charged in the attack, is taken Thursday from the 70th Precinct by detectives.
Ferguson — whose shirt was pulled off in the fight and kept up her attack wearing only a purple bra — was charged with gang assault and robbery.
In addition to pounding on the victim, Ferguson stole her purse and cell phone, cops said.
The teen hell-raiser has a troubled past and a long rap sheet that includes arrests for stabbing her brother and beating up her grandmother, who took out an order of protection against her.
Her Internet infamy has enraged her mother.
“I’m her mother and I’m not defending her,” the Brooklyn woman told the Daily News, declining to give her name.
“I didn’t raise her like this. I don’t know why she did it.”
The troubled teen emerged from the 70th Precinct stationhouse just after 8 p.m. sporting a blue Rolling Stones T-shirt and a colorful silk scarf wrapped on her head. Ferguson didn’t speak to reporters as she entered Brooklyn Criminal Court, where she’ll be arraigned
The latest was for the stabbing attack on her brother. It came on Feb. 3 and happened inside their Prospect-Lefferts Gardens home, records show. She knifed him in the arm.
Six days later, Ferguson pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was sprung from jail.
In October of last year she was arrested for assault for punching her grandmother in the face, according to law enforcement records. Her grandmother then took out an order of protection against her. Later that month and again in December she was charged with violating that order, and in the first of those collars she tried to bite one of the arresting officers, police said.
Neighbors said she has a 1-year-old daughter and severe behavioral problems.
