EAST HARLEM — A man and his crew attacked a teenager and took his $300 sneakers on East 122nd Street, police said.
The victim was coming out of Marcus Garvey Park when a man walked up to him and demanded money, according to the NYPD.
“Give me a dollar, empty your pockets,” the robber, who wore a red shirt, told the teen, at about 2 a.m. on Aug. 31, police said.
The teen walked across the street toward his home but the crew of four men surrounded him, threw him to the ground and kicked him in the ribs, police said.
They took the 17-year-old’s air-pump sneakers and ran away.
