She was released in the hours after the fight and police have recommended to the District Attorney that the girl <\/span>is<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> charged with assault of an officer and disorderly conduct, a police spokesman said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As many as 30 people were involved in a street fight at 54th Street and Springfield Avenue about 3:30 p.m., police said. Family members of some of the brawlers called police from a nearby house, according to one witness, Takeema Bundy.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As responding officers attempted to break up the fight, two videos posted to social media showed the fighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A video posted on Instagram first pans across the street, capturing the scope of a mass melee. Within a few moments, the video focuses in on a female police officer who is pushing a teen girl away from the center of the fracas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The teenager yells at the <\/span>officer <span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">then <\/span>begins<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> to shove the officer and grabs the officer&#8217;s arms. For about a second, the video moves away, but when it returns to the officer and teenager, the officer is seen throwing the teen girl to the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The officer then straddles the teen and repeatedly punches the teen as the teen swings back. The officer then pulls the teen girl up by her hair as other brawlers swarm around the two and another officer comes into the frame. The video then ends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u201cThey threw me against the car and they slammed her on the ground,\u201d the teen\u2019s legal guardian, who did not want to be identified, told NBC10.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philadelphia police say they\u2019re aware of the video and that it is being investigated by the Internal Affairs Division.
