The NYPD is looking for three men who tried to rob a 12-year-old boy on a Middle Village street last month.
According to police, at 5:20 p.m. on Sept. 12, a 12-year-old boy was walking on Juniper Boulevard South near 69th Place when he was approached by three unknown men. One of the men punched the boy in the face and demanded his cellphone.

On Oct. 7, the NYPD released photos of the suspects taken from nearby surveillance footage.
