WILLIAMSBURG — A pair of teenagers were attacked by a group of young men who punched, kicked and stomped on them before robbing the victims of their cellphones and cash, police said.

The 15- and 16-year-old victims were standing in front of the Bushwick Houses at 811 Flushing Ave. on Sept. 14 at 2:24 p.m. when a group of teens approached and started throwing punches.
