"What are you going to do?" The other girls mock.
"I'm going to leave my everything ... right now," she says as she attempts to walk away.
Carly gets to the other side of the street, where the girls continue hitting and laughing at her.
The assault escalates when Carly is on the ground again. The girls kick and punch her in the head, and she's unable to fight back.
"Now what are you going to do? F*****g dumb c**t," one of the girls is heard screaming.
"She's knocked out," another said, sounding proud.
According to The NYPost, the vicious attack has angered the community. The local residents were so upset by the attack that they chased the teens and helped police catch them. The teenagers were later arrested.
"This was absolutely cruel. It was more than bullying ... it was a senseless, cruel assault and simply pure evil. The girls involved in this should be absolutely ashamed of themselves," said Honolulu resident Michael Kitchens, who runs Stolen Stuff Hawaii, an anti-crime group.
"It was one of the worst actions you can take against someone who is unwilling, defenceless, and, unfortunately, one who suffers with disabilities. I do not have sympathy for them."
Some residents livestreamed their searches for the attackers on social media. At one point, 11,000 people were watching the drama unfold on Instagram Live, as video showed community members scaling buildings to confront the bullies.
"It's not right. We're not bullies ourselves. You shouldn't bully anybody else, especially someone that can't stand up for themselves," Leilehua High School senior Journey Emond told

With nearly a million views, Mallya's latest post quickly gained traction and prompted mixed reactions. 'You deserve justice. Let's see when GOI support you. Good luck,' a user wrote. 'If you are really innocent a toy claim, hire the best lawyer, approach SC, and get a clean chit. You can then come back proudly with your head held high,' another user commented. 'You will always be remembered as a clown. That podcast had zero impact on mature people, only underage RCB fans might have believed it,' a third user reacted. A key accused in a major bank loan default case involving over Rs 9,000 crore linked to the Kingfisher Airlines, Mallya fled from India in 2016. He faces serious allegations of cheating, criminal conspiracy, money laundering, and the misuse of loan funds provided by a union of Indian banks, led by the State Bank of India (SBI). His companies are under probe by multiple agencies in India, including the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO), and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

UP: Gurugram MNC employee killed by father, brother over live-in relationship
The Muzaffarnagar police have arrested the father and brother of a female executive working with an e-commerce firm for killing her over a live-in relationship with a man, police said. The deceased, Saraswati Maliyan, 23, was strangled and later set on fire by her father and brother, Times of India reported. Both accused – Rajveer Singh, 55, and Sumit Singh, 24 – confessed to the murder, police said. 'Rajveer admitted to killing his daughter out of anger over her relationship. The third accused, Gurdayal Singh, is absconding, and we are conducting raids to arrest him,' Muzaffarnagar SSP Sanjay Kumar Verma told Times of India. Saraswati was working with an e-commerce MNC in Gurgaon, where she handled orders and last-mile delivery. She was in a live-in relationship with Amit, a resident of her village. Her father and brother, in their confession, said that they were opposed to the relationship. Saraswati's charred body was found by the police on June 3 in a jungle in the Katia village, which is under the limits of Muzaffarnagar's Kakrauli police station. A case has been filed under Sections 103 (murder) and 238 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence or giving false evidence to screen offender) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The murder took place on the night of May 29-30, with Rajveer and Sumit strangling Saraswati inside their home, an officer investigating the case told the Times of India. The third accused, Gurdayal Singh, who is also Sumit's friend, helped them in carrying the body to a forest, 5 km from the house. The trio then poured petrol over her body and set it ablaze, the officer said. A missing person's report was filed by the family a couple of days later to mislead the police. Saraswati's body was found on June 3 and sent for a post-mortem. 'Once we sent her body for the postmortem, we tried to identify her. The body was completely burned. A silver bracelet on her hand was our only clue. We first took a close photo of it (bracelet) and then started looking for missing women around the village,' Joginder Singh, Station House Officer, Kakrouli, told The Indian Express. He said that during inquiries in the village, the police learned that a woman named Saraswati was missing. When the police searched on Instagram, they were able to match the bracelet on her wrist with the one in the pictures. Police said that Saraswati was forced into a marriage in 2019, but left her husband and returned home after two years, Times of India reported. Another marriage was arranged by her family in 2022, but she returned home after a year, the police said. 'She later began living with a man called Amit in Gurgaon, where both started working with the same e-commerce firm that same year,' police said, adding that Saraswati had continued the relationship despite opposition from her family. The police further said that Saraswati had returned to her village in Muzaffarnagar on May 10 to persuade her family. During questioning about their last conversation, Amit told police that it took place on May 26, wherein she said that this would be her last attempt at convincing her family.

Vijay Mallya is 'overwhelmed, humbled' as podcast hits 20 million views
Fugitive businessman Vijay Mallya, former owner of Kingfisher Airlines, has broken his silence after nearly a decade. In a candid podcast with YouTuber Raj Shamani, Mallya opened up about his rise, fall, and the controversial collapse of Kingfisher Airlines. The episode has gone viral, clocking over 20 million views on YouTube within just four days and generating widespread traction on Instagram and Facebook. Reacting to the overwhelming response, Mallya posted on X on June 10, 'To say that I am humbled and overwhelmed is well short of what I truly feel.' He added, 'A big heartfelt thank you to all those who took the time to watch my 4 hour plus podcast with @rajshamani. 20 million views on YouTube alone in 4 days and god knows how many more reposts on Instagram and Facebook fills my heart with joy that my true factual story is being heard. May god bless you all.' Vijay Mallya's rare public appearance In his first extensive interview since 2013, Mallya sat down for over four hours to discuss his version of events that led to the downfall of Kingfisher Airlines. The conversation, which aired on Thursday, June 5, was titled 'Vijay Mallya Podcast: Rise & Downfall Of Kingfisher Airlines, Loans & RCB'. In the podcast, Mallya claimed he made four different settlement offers to banks between 2012 and 2015 after Kingfisher Airlines collapsed, but none were accepted. 'It was always my intention to settle. Never did I say I didn't want to pay,' he told Shamani. He also mentioned meeting the then chairperson of the State Bank of India (SBI) at their Hyderabad training academy with a settlement proposal. 'They wanted ₹14,000 crore which is why they didn't accept,' he said. Earlier this year, in February, Mallya's counsel told the Karnataka High Court that around ₹6,200 crore had already been recovered. This came after Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman informed Parliament last December that ₹14,000 crore had been recovered from Mallya, Nirav Modi, and Mehul Choksi. Mallya faces multiple charges, including cheating, conspiracy, and money laundering. His companies, including Kingfisher Airlines and United Breweries (Holdings) Limited, are under scrutiny for violating the Companies Act and capital market norms. Vijay Mallya on Kingfisher's collapse Mallya also revisited a key meeting with the then Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee during the early years of Kingfisher's financial troubles. 'I told him we needed to downsize the airline. He said continue as is – and that's how it all started,' Mallya recalled. Addressing misconceptions around the loans, Mallya said, 'Kingfisher Airlines never borrowed from SBI. Let me set the record straight.' He then explained that SBI was a lender to Air Deccan, which later merged with Kingfisher in 2008. Post-merger, the two bank groups became a single lending entity. 'The consortium of 17 banks believed in the vision. They did their own appraisals,' he said, adding that support from the then finance minister helped secure loans through SBI Capital Markets, despite weak credit ratings. Mallya further stressed he had personally infused ₹3,000 crore into the airline from UB Holdings Ltd. 'You talk about siphoning money, my lifestyle, Formula 1... but no one talks about the money I put in to keep it afloat,' he said. 'I gave my personal guarantee. The UB Group gave a corporate guarantee. Koi chor kabhi apna personal guarantee deta hai kya (Does any thief ever give a personal guarantee)?' He also referred to Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, who has publicly stated that Mallya put everything on the line for Kingfisher. 'But that's not appreciated. That's sad,' he said. Mallya alleged the media was influenced by the government to push a particular narrative. 'That is why I haven't bothered about it in the last nine years,' he said. ALSO READ | 'I never borrowed a rupee personally' At one point in the podcast, Mallya showed documents from the Debt Recovery Tribunal in Bengaluru to support his claims. "Vijay Mallya has not borrowed a single rupee from anybody ever. Kingfisher Airlines, the company, borrowed – and I was the guarantor. There's a big difference,' he clarified. He reiterated that the recovery amount includes his personal shares and collaterals such as the Kingfisher brand and properties. 'Nobody dreams of sharing values. That's your answer to all the narratives,' he added. Mallya also used the platform to issue a long-awaited apology to Kingfisher Airlines employees. 'For those who are interested, I have spoken for the first time in nine years on this podcast. I want to say sorry to employees of Kingfisher Airlines and also to set the record straight with facts and the truth.' Watch the full video here:
