NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD released video Friday of more than a dozen suspects wanted for beating, stabbing and robbing a 15-year-old boy of his sneakers in Queens—a broad-daylight attack that left the victim in critical condition.
According to police, the group of young males surrounded the victim at 160th Street and Hillside Avenue in Jamaica around 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
An argument ensued, and they ended up punching and kicking him throughout his body, police said.
One of them then took out a knife and stabbed the victim multiple times, while a second suspect removed his $340 sneakers, police said.
EMS responded and transported the victim to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where he was in critical condition.
The suspects fled on foot with the sneakers, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
