NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A 15-year-old boy was beaten up and robbed at a Brooklyn bus stop after telling his attackers he's not in a gang, police said Thursday.
The victim was waiting at a bus stop at Church and Utica avenues in East Flatbush on the morning of Nov. 1 when three teen males came up just before 9 a.m. and asked if he was a gang member.
He told them he wasn't, so they attacked him and snatched an iPhone 11 out of his hand, according to police.
The trio fled the area on foot and was last seen headed westbound on Church Avenue, police said.
The victim suffered minor injuries. He refused medical attention at the scene.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
