Suspect (NYPD)
Nov. 5, 2019 By Allie Griffin
A 16-year-old girl was violently mugged by a group of teenagers last month in Kew Garden Hills and police are still searching for suspects.
The girl was walking home from school along Horace Harding Expressway on Thursday, Sept. 26. At 2 p.m., when she neared 160th Street, several teens approached her and began kicking and punching her until she fell to the ground, police said.
The teens then took $30 cash, a cell phone and airpods from the girl before fleeing the scene in an unknown direction. The victim had minor bruising and pain, but refused medical attention, cops said.
Police have already arrested a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, who were both charged with assault and robbery. They are still looking for other suspects and have released photos of a girl and boy.
