Teens fatally attack elderly man with traffic cone

Philadelphia Police released footage of young teenagers beating a 73-year-old man to death with a traffic cone.

The surveillance camera footage captures seven teens chasing after James Lambert Jr. on June 24.

One of the suspects swings a cone at the back of the elderly man’s head, seeing him topple over.

While he tries to flee the group, a girl picks the cone back up and hits Mr Lambert with it again before chasing him off-screen.

Mr Lambert suffered several injuries to the head and was pronounced dead in hospital.
