Police are looking for five people who attacked a teen on a basketball court in Haverford Township, Delaware County.

Investigators say bystanders recorded video of the attack. It's led to one arrest and a search for five other suspects who police say may have been after the victim's shoes.

"Not calling 911, not trying to help the kid on the ground," said Hagan. "It's kind of disturbing that these other individuals were standing around, just filming it this poor kid on the ground.""One of the kids put it up on social media and we were able to get that video off social media," said Hagan."They're facing at least aggravated assault, robbery and other related offenses," said Hagan.

One neighbor, who didn't want to go on camera, says juveniles have been causing problems in the area for a while. The neighbor says the midnight curfew for kids in Havertown doesn't make a difference since a lot of the nuisance behavior happens before midnight. Police are trying to address the issue.Officers advise parents to know where their children are as they continue to look for the other five teen attackers.
