According to police, there were no prior words and without provocation, the individuals began to punch and kick the victim until he fell to the ground.
Police say the victim sustained minor injuries and was treated by EMS services at the scene.
Police caught and charged one 16-year-old suspect with gang assault and hate crime assault, but the hunt is still on for the other five suspects responsible.
Police are asking anyone with information on the whereabout of any of the suspects to call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
