The moment a mob of violent teens attacked an off-duty FDNY firefighter walking his dog in New York City was caught on video.
The firefighter, 44, was walking his Labradoodle Dylan, 3, in Juniper Valley Park in the Middle Village neighborhood of Queens around 9:55 p.m. on Friday.
Suddenly, the father-of-three was swarmed by 'at least 100 kids,' he told the New York Post - while one called out that it was 'Fight Night.'
'They just picked me out and approached me,' said the firefighter, who told the outlet he wished to remain anonymous.
He said one of the teens took of his shirt and declared 'I could fight you' while everyone else took out their cell phones. Some of the footage has gone viral online.
'They all came at me,' he said. 'A kid came up behind me and hit me in the back of the head with a bottle and I let go of the dog.'
