MANHATTAN — A trio of teenage muggers robbed a man in Central Park Wednesday night, running off with his backpack full of Cartier bracelets and an iPhone, police said.

The man was near West Drive and West 77th Street about 11:30 p.m. when the trio, all about 15 years old, mugged him, an NYPD spokesman said.

They demanded his bag, so he handed it over and they fled, police said.

The bag had three Cartier bracelets, an iPhone and a pair of Beats headphones, police said.

The thieves hadn't been arrested as of Thursday morning, police said.
