PROSPECT-LEFFERTS GARDENS — A 10-year-old boy was punched and robbed by a group of six suspects as he walked on Rogers Avenue after school last week, police said.

The boy was walking along Rogers Avenue near Parkside Avenue at 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 4 when the group approached him, punched him in the face and forcibly removed his Samsung Galaxy phone, worth approximately $100, his mother reported to police.

The assault took place during after-school hours across the street from P.S. 92 and down the block from the Parkside Preparatory Academy building shared by P.S. 141 and a charter school. It’s unclear which school the victim attended.

It was also unclear how old the suspects are.

The 10-year-old was not seriously injured in the robbery. No arrests have been made as of Friday.
