A deranged mother is rushing to the defense of her 14-year-old son after he was filmed slamming a 15-year-old girl to the concrete and stomping on her head in East Harlem — all because she refused to give him her phone number.
The horrifying attack, captured on video and shared widely online, has left the victim hospitalized with a concussion. Yet instead of demanding accountability, the boy’s mother is painting her son as a victim of bullying.
The assault unfolded around 3:30 p.m. Monday at the corner of East 107th Street and Third Avenue, right after classes let out at East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School, which both teens attend.
The videois so graphic that X is placing a content warning on it.

As the boy confronted the girl on a crosswalk, he blocked her path and threatened, “I’ll knock the s**t out of you right now.” One of his friends egged him on: “Do it!”
The girl tried to get away, yelling, “Get the f*** away from me, p***y.” He followed, grabbed her from behind, lifted her, and slammed her to the ground before stomping on her head. He then strutted off as she lay motionless.
The 15-year-old victim suffered a concussion and spent two days in Harlem Hospital. Her mother, Lucinda Arroyo, called the attack “outright assault — and he could have killed her.” She added that her daughter is “lucky to be alive” and confirmed, “She’s not going back to that school … that school can’t keep her safe.”
The boy was arrested and charged with assault. He appeared in Manhattan Youth Court and was remanded into custody.
Yet his mother, Sealema Allen, came forward to defend him in comments to the media.
