Gerritsen Is The New Howard

Three Brooklyn teens have taken the title of “Most Racist Beach” away from Queens, making decent people forget about Howard Beach for the time being:

Three white Brooklyn teens were charged yesterday with committing a hate crime after they pummeled three black kids riding their bicycles on a Gerritsen Beach street and incited onlookers to join in the attack , police said.

The victims — Joseph Pascall and Deon Davis, both 17, and Aaron Adams, 16 — said they cycled into the neighborhood because they were lost, a police source said.

The thugs allegedly cornered the victims with their car near Florence Avenue and Celest Court on Monday at 9 p.m.

They taunted the teens with racial slurs before knocking them off their bikes with the car, and pinched and kicked them when they tried to get away, the source said.

Cops said an unknown number of people in the neighborhood saw the incident and joined in the taunting and violence.

Alessandro Cerciello, Christopher Rapuzzi and Joseph DeSimone, all 17, were charged yesterday with assault as a hate crime, gang assault as a hate crime, aggravated harassment, menacing and unlawful imprisonment, police said.
