The first attacker threw the victim into a headlock and threatened him with a box cutter. The other two attackers kicked the victim in his ribs. They then removed his book bag and wallet which contained $350 in cash. 

Cops said the robbers fled the scene and were last seen entering a building at 3115 Grand Concourse. Surveillance video shows the teens at the building including one using a child’s razor scooter.
