MANHATTAN SUPREME COURT — Two teens were indicted Tuesday for allegedly toting a fake gun and committing a trio of muggings in Central Park last month.

Former boarding school student Jesse Wasserman, 17, of New Rochelle, and Alexander Greene, also 17, of the Upper East Side, were indicted on felony robbery charges.

Shortly after the incident, police arrested Wasserman, who allegedly tried to flee the crime scene on a stolen bicycle. He was released on $150,000 cash bail on Aug. 6.
