Officials in Minnesota have arrested three teens after a viral Instagram video showed them allegedly taunting an Asian woman who was alone at a metro stop before kicking her in the face, then running away, laughing.
The assault occurred just after midnight on Monday, May 4 at the Green Line light-rail station in St. Paul, Metro Transit spokesman Howie Padilla told BuzzFeed News Friday night.
In the 15-second clip, three black teens are laughing and moving around the woman as she stands alone against a bench under the rail stop awning. She edges away from one of them who comes and stands next to her as the person recording the video can be heard chuckling, “you won’t, you won’t,” over and over again.

Padilla called the incident “extreme” and “disturbing.”
