NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — An 11-year-old boy was slashed during an attempted robbery by two thieves at his uncle's bodega in Alphabet City Wednesday afternoon, according to a new report.
One of the suspects allegedly cut the boy's right hand inside of the Avenue D corner bodega — after his 27-year-old uncle, a store clerk, confronted the pair, The New York Post reports.
The robbers then reportedly fled down Avenue D and headed north on East 4th Street.
