Ms. Francisco said her son said something back to her and a man followed Blake as he walked away.
She said her son does not remember whether he was grabbed or tripped, but said witnesses claim to have seen four men on top of her son behind an ice cream truck parked nearby.
During the alleged fight, Blake suffered a broken collarbone and sustained facial injuries.
Ms Francisco was shocked to learn that her son, who will undergo collarbone surgery on Monday, was allegedly assaulted by adults.
“This could have been avoided,” said Mrs. Francisco. News Corporation.
“Now my son has to undergo surgery on Monday… they have to put a plate in his shoulder.”
Police have confirmed they are still investigating the incident and have not filed any charges.
