Detectives say they have caught five people responsible for a string of random, vicious beatings in Jersey City.
Police say there were four attacks in the early morning hours of August 25. All of the attacks were within blocks of each other over three hours in the Bergen-Lafayette section. Authorities also say the suspects videotaped the attacks, but two of the incidents were never reported to police.
Authorities arrested 18-year-old Jerrik Taylor, of Harlem, and five juveniles. All of the suspects are from Jersey City and New York. Police say the juveniles could be tried as adults.
