Two 15-year-old girls were remanded into custody on Wednesday after being charged in the beating of a young woman on a downtown sidewalk that was videotaped and posted online.

The two teens were walked into the courtroom and handcuffed to each other. The pair stood quietly throughout their short court appearance, glancing briefly into the body of the courtroom.

Police allege that three girls attacked the woman late Saturday or early Sunday in the Yonge Street and Dundas Street area.

Footage of the attack posted on the Internet shows a young woman being punched and kicked by two people after the three have an argument.

"It was quite disturbing that people would actually go to that level to assault someone," Const. Tony Vella told CTV Toronto. "Particularly when she's down and she's still being assaulted."

Police said that the three-minute video was brought to their attention by two web-surfers who saw the video online.

In the clip, the beating victim is heard telling her attackers that she is pregnant. At one point, her attackers refer to her as a "crack addicted" pregnant woman.

However, police confirmed Tuesday that the 35-year-old woman has been interviewed by officers and is not pregnant.

One of the girls had chronicled the allegations on her Twitter account hours after the attack, stating that, "It was wrong what I did" and "I'm sorry for what I did."

The victim of the attack, who is recovering from her injuries, said in a statement in response to an interview request that she needs time.

"Everything is happening all at once. I can only manage so much," she said.

Her pastor, Doug Hatlem from Sanctuary Ministries of Toronto, said that the she's been upset but was pleased to hear of the arrests.

"At times, she's been extremely, extremely low and down and needing to find some way to escape," Hatlem said.

Meanwhile, the video has since been removed from the website to which it was originally uploaded.

Police said they're still seeking additional suspects.

The teens will be back in court on Thursday and Friday.
