Trio knocks teen out on Bronx street and steals his sneakers: NYPD

The NYPD is asking for the public’s help in identifying three suspects wanted for knocking out a young boy on a Bronx street before stealing his sneakers.

On April 3 at about 10 p.m. the 15-year-old victim was in front of 2342 Jerome Ave. when he was approached from behind by the three suspects, police said.

Emergency personnel took the victim to a local hospital where he was in stable condition.

Police describe the three suspects — who can be seen following the victim on surveillance video — as between 15 and 19 years old, and last seen wearing red, black and white hoodies, respectively.
