BRONX - Is nothing sacred? A trio of men are wanted by cops in connection with a mugging in front of a Bronx convent in broad daylight.



The attack happened at around 1:30 pm on July 24. A 15-year-old male was walking in front of 677 Van Nest Avenue next to St. Dominic’s Convent. Cops said three men ran up behind the teen and, without warning, attacked.



The men repeatedly punched and kicked the teen throughout his body. As they beat on the young victim, the attackers tried to remove the teen’s property but were unsuccessful. The attackers then ran off empty handed.


The teen victim refused medical attention at the scene. 


The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspected attackers.


The first suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion, dreadlocks and slim build. He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, black sweatpants, and black sneakers.


The second suspect is described as a male with a medium complexion, a beard and a large build. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and gray sneakers.





The third suspect is described as a male with a light complexion, an afro and a slim build. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, gray sweatpants with black knee patches, and black sneakers.


Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
