BRONX - The NYPD arrested a 13-year-old male in connection with the assault and robbery of a 76-year-old man in the Bronx. A trio of males on mopeds attacked the elderly man, cops said.


The NYPD announced the arrest of a 13-year-old male hours after cops released surveillance video of the suspects wanted in the attack.


The teen was charged with robbery. The NYPD will not release the name of the suspect because he is a minor.


At around 2 am on December 17, a 76-year-old man was walking in the vicinity of Webb Avenue and Sedgwick Avenue. Cops said a trio on three mopeds rode up behind the man. One of the drivers reached over and punched the elderly man in the head knocking him to the ground.


While the man lay on the ground, the attackers got off the mopeds and rummaged through his pockets pulling out his cellphone. One of the crew threw the phone to the ground damaging the screen.


The attackers then hopped back on their moped and fled on West Fordham Road.


EMS treated the victim at the scene for a laceration and pain to the head.
