EAST HARLEM — Three teens threatened to shoot a man for his G-Shock watch in the Wagner Houses.

The 18-year-old victim was walking a friend to the corner of 10 Paladino Ave. about 9:30 p.m. on July 28 when he was approached by a group of teenagers, according to the NYPD.

A 13-year-old boy said, “Give me your watch.” When the man refused the teen told his friend to attack the victim. The teen henchman punched the victim in the face, breaking his glasses, police said.

A third kid, about 5-foot-2, said, “I’ll shoot you,” while simulating a gun under his shirt, according to the police.

Officers arrested the 13-year-old boy shortly after the incident. The other two remain at large.
