(Omaha, NE) -- Four girls are arrested after a social media video shows them assaulting another teen and the girl's mother.
Omaha Police say the assault happened the evening of Monday, April 3rd near 23rd and J streets. Araceli Vidal told officers that the girls showed up to her house to fight her daughter, Itzel.
