A pair of 17-year-olds who drove to Oniontown after a series of YouTube videos portrayed the hamlet as a run-down, backwoods dump were pelted with rocks by an angry group of young residents.
The teens, from Mahopac, N.Y., about 50 kilometres south of Oniontown, are recovering from their injuries.
State police troopers arrested a 17-year-old from the tiny community and charged him with criminal mischief for taking part in the assault. The investigation is ongoing, and additional arrests are expected.
State police investigator Eric Schaefer says it wasn't the first time out-of-towners were attacked by local residents.
He says if you're not a resident of Oniontown, you should probably not go there. In one YouTube video posted in May called "Oniontown Adventures," three boys with foul mouths supposedly drive up to the town.
While there, they mock the poverty they find - giggling at the garbage strewn along the streets and the abandoned cars in the front yards of trailer parks.
