BRONX - Cops are looking for a group of muggers who have beaten up one child and threatened a teen with a knife during two robberies in the Bronx. 


The NYPD released surveillance video of three of possible four suspects wanted in two violent robberies of youngsters during the holidays. 


The first robbery took place at around 3 pm on December 23 across from the Sack Wern Houses in Soundview. A 14-year-old male was walking down the block when he was approached by four males who demanded his property. Cops said one of the group pulled out a knife and told the teen to hand over his cell phone and wallet. The robbers then ran off with the phone and a wallet containing $40.

Investigators said the same crew struck again at around 2 pm on December 26 across from IS 131 in the vicinity of Underhill Avenue and Story Avenue. A 12-year-boy was approached by two males who demanded his property. The pre-teen refused. 


Cops said the muggers jumped on the young victim, repeatedly punching him. Then they ripped the coat off the 12-year-old and forcibly removed his cell phone. The attackers then ran off in unknown direction.  


The victim sustained minor injuries but refused medical attention.
