Hundreds rally in Red Deer to support teenage girl recovering from violent assault

On Friday, hundreds showed up to an anti-bullying rally in support of a central Alberta teen who is battered and bruised from an assault earlier this week in Red Deer that left her with a concussion, internal bleeding and possible permanent eye damage. Rylin Brinston, 14, was hanging out in a park in the Lancaster Meadows area along 30th Avenue when she was assaulted. In a video that was shared on social media, Brinston is seen being attacked for more than two minutes, pinned to the ground, kicked and punched while also having her head slammed down on the grass. Other teenagers are seen watching the assault but the video doesn’t appear to show anyone stepping in to stop the attack. “It’s been really stressful and just like, not everything’s right anymore — but we’re managing,” Brinston said on Friday. The alleged attackers, both also 14, were taken into custody and face charges of assault causing bodily harm. One of the accused has an additional charge of assault by choking.
