(Philadelphia Daily News) –A WOMAN’S leg was broken and several other people were injured Saturday night [June 25, 2011] when a large group of teens accosted pedestrians in Spring Garden, police and witnesses said.

Philadelphia police responded to two reports of pedestrians being assaulted by a large group of young people along Broad Street about 9:30 p.m.

One of those reports came from Emily Guendelsberger, 27, city editor for local arts and entertainment content for the Onion, the satirical newspaper and website. She was walking with seven friends on Green Street near Broad when they were accosted, she said. Guendelsberger, who remained hospitalized with a broken leg yesterday, declined to comment further.

A friend who was with her at the time, Daily News staff writer Molly Eichel, said that they were walking down Green Street when a group of teens was walking down Broad. “We heard kids yell, ‘Run, run,’ ” Eichel said. “Some kid just came out of nowhere and punched my friend Charlie in the face.”

Eichel said that when her group tried to run, about 20 teens chased them down the street. “They were kicking kids down and punching them when they were down,” she said.

Two other friends sought treatment at area hospitals for facial injuries, Eichel said. >>>

@tvoti “Flash mob!” I hate that term. A bunch of us were walking to the subway and we intersected a group of like 100? kids who attacked us

    They think just because the law favors blacks and minors (I said minors /under 21s), they will get away with anything, even racial attacks and mass robbery. I hope they don’t get away. I hope they are repaid duly.

    it’s crap like this that could be easly stopped if the second amendment was followed as it is written, of course the politicans are to lily livered to make an example out of those punks, glad i don’t live in the twillite zone. but don’t even think if bothering some of us down here or you will be picking lead out our your sorry butts.

    Of Course, no emphasis on the fact that the flash mobbers are black.It seems to be a thing with blacks to engage in all acts that are violent. truth is they themselves are the cause of racism. Flash mobbing has been happening for decades. my friends and I were attacked by a gang of black girls on south street. fortunately, the gang was no more than 9 so we put a serious hurting on them, too. Lost my gold chain tho’ and naturally the police didn’t show up until later.
