Sometimes its better to let the cops handle things, especially if you're a woman.

When a 24-year-old woman saw a deli worker in trouble, she tried to help and ended up paying a painful price. Now she's hoping a video will help identify her attackers.

The victim, whose name and identity News 4 is protecting, suffered broken bones above her right eye and a fractured nose after being assaulted by some of these teenaged boys shown in surveillance video from the deli. The boys had been inside before the attack, filling their pockets with items they allegedly didn't pay for.

She happened to be outside the deli at the time and noticed the young brother of the owner chasing the alleged shoplifters confronting them. Then the mob, including some teenaged girls, turned on her. She was mercilessly beaten by six to ten people.
