"What are you going to do?" The other girls mock.
"I'm going to leave my everything ... right now," she says as she attempts to walk away.
Carly gets to the other side of the street, where the girls continue hitting and laughing at her.
The assault escalates when Carly is on the ground again. The girls kick and punch her in the head, and she's unable to fight back.
"Now what are you going to do? F*****g dumb c**t," one of the girls is heard screaming.
"She's knocked out," another said, sounding proud.
According to The NYPost, the vicious attack has angered the community. The local residents were so upset by the attack that they chased the teens and helped police catch them. The teenagers were later arrested.
"This was absolutely cruel. It was more than bullying ... it was a senseless, cruel assault and simply pure evil. The girls involved in this should be absolutely ashamed of themselves," said Honolulu resident Michael Kitchens, who runs Stolen Stuff Hawaii, an anti-crime group.
"It was one of the worst actions you can take against someone who is unwilling, defenceless, and, unfortunately, one who suffers with disabilities. I do not have sympathy for them."
Some residents livestreamed their searches for the attackers on social media. At one point, 11,000 people were watching the drama unfold on Instagram Live, as video showed community members scaling buildings to confront the bullies.
"It's not right. We're not bullies ourselves. You shouldn't bully anybody else, especially someone that can't stand up for themselves," Leilehua High School senior Journey Emond told
