Four juveniles, ranging in age from 11 to 18, have been arrested in connection with the violent robbery of an elderly Asian woman in San Francisco, police said.
The 70-year-old victim was beaten and robbed on July 31, according to a social media release.
The victim told responding officers that she was standing in front of a building when she was approached by four juvenile suspects who began talking to her.
Due to a language barrier, he did not know what the suspects were saying. When she turned to go into the lobby of the building, she said the suspects were able to gain access to the building and follow her.

“The brutality of the crime shocked many when viral footage was released by KGO’s Dion Lim showing the elderly woman being kicked in the head,” reports KTVU FOX 2.
The woman was taken to hospital where she was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
San Francisco police identified the suspects as 18-year-old Darryl Moore of Oakland and an 11-, 13- and 14-year-old during a press conference Monday.
Moore, the 11-year-old and the 13-year-old were arrested Wednesday in Milpitas for an unrelated, unspecified crime.
