Teenager Beaten And Robbed In East New York Elevator: NYPD

EAST NEW YORK — Police are looking for four muggers who beat up a teenager in his apartment building’s elevator.

Three men and one woman followed a 15-year-old boy inside the elevator of an apartment building near Elton and Egan streets around 10:20 p.m. on Dec. 7, said police.

The foursome knocked the boy to the ground when the elevator doors opened on his floor and he tried to walk away, said police.

They punched the teen in the face several times before grabbing his cellphone, hopping back on the elevator and fleeing the building, said police.

The four suspects are about 20 years-old and were last seen wearing hooded clothing, said police.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police.
