11-year-old girl attacked, NYPD says crowd prevented response

HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) -- The NYPD is defending its response to an attack on an 11-year-old girl, saying officers tried to help but couldn't get past an unruly crowd.

Police tweeted this video of that crowd, saying protesters throwing bottles at officers prevented them from helping the young girl.

That's after the NY Post reported the 11-year-old was attacked by a group of five other girls Sunday in Harlem.
