LOWER EAST SIDE — A man was robbed by four teens, one of whom had a gun, as he walked along Orchard Street, police said.

The 38-year-old victim told police that the four young men surrounded him on the corner of Orchard and Hester streets just before midnight on Feb. 5. They demanded he give them all his money, as one showed him a gun in his waistband.

The man gave them all the cash he had — $20, and the teens ran off, police said.
