Female students violently attacked by mob in York, Pennsylvania

On September 19, 2026, a group of female students residing off-campus in York, Pennsylvania, suffered a brutal physical assault by a mob of approximately 30 individuals. The incident occurred after the students confronted a group participating in illegal street racing that had crashed into a vehicle parked outside their residence. When the students requested the individuals to leave their property, the situation escalated into violence, resulting in the victims being dragged by their hair, repeatedly kicked, and beaten by groups numbering up to 25 people. One student reported losing consciousness twice due to severe head and rib injuries.

The victims alleged that they contacted emergency services five times before police arrived at the scene. While the students claim a significant delay in the police response, local authorities have stated they are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident to identify the perpetrators. The assault, which was captured on video, remains under active investigation by the York police as they work to bring those involved to justice.
