Four Teens Ambushed And Attacked Another Over Money: Police

Four Nassau teens were arrested this week after police say they ambushed and attacked another teen at his home over some money.

According to police, the four teens — Kevin Chicas, 17, of Mistletow Lane, Levittown; Abdul Muzaffar, 18, of North Jerusalem Road, Levittown; Joseph Dimperio, 17, of Foch Boulevard, Mineola; and Aiden McCaughey, 18, of Mistletoe Lane, Levittown — went to the home of their 19-year-old victim on Gardiners Avenue in Levittown on Jan. 24 at 3:15 p.m.

Police say Chicas drove the four to the home. When they arrived, police say Muzaffar and Dimperio stood outside the door holding baseball bats, while McCaughey banged on the front door. When the victim opened the door, police say McCaughey entered and started a fight, allegedly pulling a knife and cutting the victim's fingers and chest.

The attack was interrupted by the teen's father coming home, police say, and three of the attackers fled on foot. Police say Chicas stayed at the scene and was arrested without incident. Muzaffar was arrested at his home on Jan. 24. McCaughey was arrested at his home on Jan. 25. Dimperio was arrested on Jan. 26 while he was at class at Division Avenue High School in Levittown.

The victim was transported to Nassau University Medical Center, where he was treated and released.

All four teens are charged with first-degree gang assault and first-degree burglary. They were all arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead.
