Incidents Targeted Young Boys in Daylight
According to NYPD sources, the brazen daylight assaults took place in the confines of the 41st and 42nd Precincts in December and targeted young boys after school.
First Incident: December 12, 2024
The first incident took place on Dec. 12, 2024, at around 4:11 p.m. on Forest Avenue and East 166th Street in Morrisania. Authorities said the group of attackers targeted a 15-year-old boy, whom they viciously punched and kicked.
“Give me your sweater,” one of the attackers allegedly demanded during the beatdown.
The ambush did not end there, however; police said the boy was also beaten in the face with a tennis racket. Despite the onslaught, authorities said, the group did not manage to make off with anything and fled the scene on foot. The 15-year-old refused medical attention, police reported.
Second Incident: December 17, 2024
Cops said the individuals next struck on Dec. 17 in the vicinity of Intervale Avenue and Kelly Street in Longwood at around 3:50 p.m. This time, a 13-year-old boy was walking along the street when the gang approached him. One of the suspects threw a tennis racket, striking him in the face. Meanwhile, one teen stole his book bag while the other removed his sweater.
The 13-year-old also refused medical assistance, police said.
