A 13-year-old girl walking home alone from school on a Brooklyn street was kidnapped and raped by four youths who tried recruiting her as a prostitute, police said.
The shocking attack on the girl unfolded at 1:35 p.m. as the victim, whose name was not released due to the nature of the crime, was walking alone on Utica Avenue, police said.
Three young men and a teenage girl in a van spotted the girl walking alone and forced her inside the vehicle, demanding she work for them as a hooker, the victim told cops.
The girl refused their demands, and the four suspects drove off before several of them raped and assaulted her in the vehicle, cops said.
The victim managed to escape. She provided cops with details of the crime, leading to the arrests of Tyrell Averhart, 22, and Christina Pratt, 17. Two others were at large.
