GARDEN CITY - A two-month old kitten, the target of apparent physical abuse by area teenagers, has died, animal caregivers say.

Danielle Stem was on her way to work when she saw two teenagers brutally beating the kitten.

"As soon as he saw me slam on my brakes he threw that kitten as hard as he could and he got on his bike and left," said Stem. "The other one stayed and said 'I didn't do anything'...I thought she was going to die in my arms."

Northwest Animal Companions says a police report was likely to be filed Tuesday.
