911 call recounts aftermath of teen's videotaped beating


Update from previous story. A newly released 911 call recounts the aftermath of the videotaped beating of a central Florida teen. The 16-year-old victim tells the 911 operator: "I got jumped."

The Polk County Sheriff's Office released the recording of the call Tuesday.

The girl called from a friend's house in Lakeland after the March 30 beating. The friend's mother got on the phone and told the operator: "She's got blood in her mouth a big old knot on her left eye, and we think she's got a tooth broke."

Eight teens have been charged as adults in the beating.
