Police have released photos of the teenage tough they believe beat and tried to rob another kid in a W. 12th Street elevator on Oct. 22.
The 14-year-old victim was in a lift in the Luna Park cooperative houses between Neptune and Surf avenues in Coney Island at 2:45 pm when the pubescent punk punched him in the eye and demanded his property, police said. The scrappy victim fought back until the elevator stopped on an unidentified floor and the would-be robber ran away empty-handed, law enforcement sources said.
The victim declined medical attention for bumps and bruises, a police report states.
Cops say the attacker is between 16 and 18 years old, stands between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches, and weighs between 150 and 160 pounds.
Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577–8477. The public can also submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then entering TIP577.
