PARK SLOPE — Two men robbed an 11-year-old boy of his iPhone and choked him to force him to reveal his password, according to a police report.
The two muggers trailed the boy at 6:20 p.m. Dec. 2 as he walked from his home on Sixth Avenue and Sterling Place to his pal's place around the corner on Sterling, according to the report.
One of the men said, "Hey kid, give me your phone," and the two robbers then followed the boy into his friend's building.
While one of the men acted as a lookout, the other took the boy's iPhone 5S out of the boy's hand. One of the men then put his arm around the boy's neck and demanded the phone's password, the report stated. The man who acted as the lookout tried to cover his face with his hood, according to the report.
The boy told the robbers the password and the duo then fled on foot, according to the report.
No arrests had been made as of Thursday.
Overall crime in the 78th Precinct has increased 2.5 percent so far this year compared to the same period in 2014, according to the latest figures from the NYPD.
