CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — A boy walking to his home on Lincoln Place, from school this afternoon, Monday at around 2:15pm was attacked by a group of four Black males on Eastern Parkway close to the Troy Avenue inetsection. The group appeared to the victim to be around his own age around 12 to 15 years old.
One of the group shoved the boy to the ground and told him to empty his pockets and hand it to him, which he did, producing just some scraps of paper and nothing of value. The group then fled, apparently because someone saw them and scared them off.
