Punks caught on video ganging up on 14-year-old, punching and stomping him until he's left curled up in a ball on sidewalk. No one dares intervene.

Surveillance video caught the moment a gang of crooks — at least six of them — pummeled and stomped a 14-year-old boy in broad daylight on a New York City street last week.

What are the details?

The incident — which took place around 3 p.m. on the corner of Southern Boulevard and East 174th Street in the Bronx — began when suspects approached the boy and one of them asked him where he was from, police told WPIX-TV.

Video then shows one of the suspects, dressed in a light-colored vest, suddenly punching the victim in the midsection.

With that, the first suspect continues the attack as the victim tries to get away toward the corner — but the boy is shoved into a parked vehicle and then a traffic signal pole before he's knocked to the pavement.

It gets worse from there as at least five other attackers join in, repeatedly punching and stomping him.

At least two vehicles are stopped on the street, and the drivers appear to have full views of the attack, but no one intervenes.

By the end, the victim is left curled up in a ball with one of his sneakers several feet away after having been ripped from his foot, and the attackers finally disperse.

What happened to the victim?

Emergency medical services took the boy to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for a broken nose and then released, WPIX said.

Police said one of the suspects stole the boy’s cell phone before the attackers left the scene, the station added.

Police also are asking for the public's help in identifying the attackers, News 12 the Bronx reported. There is a reward of up to $3,500 for information; call 800-577-TIPS.

What did observers have to say?

As you can imagine, folks commenting on the NYPD Crime Stoppers tweet containing video of the attack were not happy about what they saw:

• "Cars stop and watch, no one helps the kid!" one commenter said. "This society is on its last legs, I can't carry my pistol in a holster anymore have to carry in jacket pocket so I can shoot them thru the jacket."
• "Give NYers the right to defend themselves," another user replied. "Allow firearm carry."
• "Every major Democrat City across the USA has reached record levels of murder and violence," another commenter declared.
• "Savages," another user offered.
• "They were just working out," another commenter quipped. "Leave them alone."
