‘RIHANNA’ AGONY ON WEB VID

The horrific night in which Chris Brown allegedly beat girlfriend Rihanna has been brought to life in vivid detail in a public-service video made by a youth organization.

DoSomething.org has re-enacted the fateful night of Feb. 8 when Brown allegedly attacked the “Disturbia” singer in a car in Los Angeles by filming two actors playing out details of the attack as a narrator reads the police report.

“She picked up his cellphone and read a text message from a woman he had a previous relationship with,” says the narrator, quoting the report. “A verbal argument ensued. He reached over to the car door and attempted to force her out.”

The actors then play out every violent step of the altercation, including Brown allegedly trying to force the pop star out of the car, punching her and biting her ear.

“We didn’t want to be overdramatic,” said Nancy Lublin, chief executive officer of DoSomething.org. “Our goal was not to shoot a Lifetime TV movie . . . There was no need to sensationalize things. It was bad enough.”

“The public is very focused right now on Chris and Rihanna,” she said. “We wanted this to not be an exact re-enactment. We wanted instead to say: Could this be you?”

The video can be seen at NYPost.com.

Brown faces felony assault charges and is due in court next month. With Post Wire Services
