NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A 15-year-old boy was robbed, forced off an MTA bus and beaten by a group of males in Queens, police said Friday.

According to police, the attack began on a Q43 bus traveling westbound on Hillside Avenue on April 19 around 2:30 p.m.

Four males went up to the victim and forcibly removed his wallet, which contained $29 and a MetroCard.

The group then forced the boy to get off the bus at the 168th Street and Hillside Avenue stop in Jamaica, police said.

The teen was then forced to follow them to 169-06 Highland Ave., where they assaulted him.

After the assault, the males fled the location to parts unknown. The next day, cops busted one of the suspects, a 15-year-old boy, and charged him with three counts of robbery, assault, criminal possession of stolen property and harassment.

Police have released photos of the trio, who remain at large, and said the teens attend Martin Van Buren High School.
