Teenagers Arrested For Central Park Assaults

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Five children under 16 have been arrested by the NYPD after a mugging spree in New York’s Central Park.

The five children, including a 12-year-old and 13-year-old, are facing charges of robbery, assault and attempted assault.

The gang attacked a 31-year-old man on Monday morning, beating him with a stick and punching him in the face when he refused to give them all the money in his wallet.  The group then attacked two female joggers and stole their iPhones and iPods.

The only suspect named by police was 16-year-old Angel Munoz.  Police say that Munoz and one of the 14-year-old assailants turned themselves in to police after discovering they were the subject of a manhunt.

The victims then identified the other suspects from lineups conducted at an NYPD precinct.
