This group of girls didn't want to pay the subway fare - and a video shows they sure didn't want to go quietly when cops swooped in.
The unruly teens were so hard to handle on Friday night that the situation turned into a series of one-on-one wrestling matches between cops and the soon-to-be-collared.
The cops didn't get the upper hand until reinforcements showed up.
The four teens skipped out on the $2.25 fare before hopping onto a train at the 125th St. station near Lenox Ave. about 11 p.m., police said.
But two uniformed officers saw what they did and pulled them out of the train - and the teens lashed out.
The video, which was uploaded onto YouTube, shows the feisty teens yelling at the officers as they try to break away from their grips.
"Get off of her," one teen screams as she tried to pull the officer off of her friend. "What are you doing?"
As the girls struggle to get away, an officer called for backup and told the teens, "Stop resisting!"
A crowd of onlookers seemed to split sides during the struggle: one group rooted for the rowdy teens as others tried to help the police.
One bystander pulled a teen away after she clubbed an officer with her bag.
Soon after, a swarm of uniformed and plainclothes officers arrived and the loudmouthed girls were finally subdued.
Officers handcuffed the girls as others dispersed the crowd.
"They did it all and now they're going to blame the cops," one witness yelled out from behind the camera, referring to the teenage hellions.
Cops said four teenage girls - two 15-year-olds, a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old - were arrested. They were all charged with assault, obstruction of governmental administration, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
