QUEENS —  Police are hunting for a knife-wielding teen who threatened a woman last week as she walked along a Jamaica street.

The boy, who police estimate to be about 13, approached the 30-year-old victim around 8 p.m. last Tuesday on the corner on 164th Street and Hillside Avenue, police said.

The woman ran away and the teen did not follow her, authorities said.

The victim was not injured during the incident and the suspect did not take anything from her, according to police.

No arrests had been made as of Monday and a motive remains unclear, police officials said.
