Four against one
A brute slashed a teen walking home from school while three of his buddies held the victim still on Hoyt Street on March 13.
The victim told police he was near Bergen Street at about 9 pm when the goon said “Do you have a problem?” The victim told him no and then the lout tried to punch him, officials said.
Three other jerks then joined in, and held the victim’s arm behind him so the first malefactor could cut the right side of his face, causing a deep cut, police said. The victim was taken to Kings County to Hospital.
Threatened
