The Untold Truth Of Rachael Ray
A third shocking attack has unfolded in Central Park in just two days — as three young teens tried to rob a man at gunpoint late Friday night, cops said.
In the latest attack, the armed muggers — who appeared to be 14 or 15 years old — approached a 25-year-old man and told him to hand over his iPhone 11 around 10:12 p.m. at 110th Street and East Drive, cops said.
The teens fled without any of the man’s belongings, according to police.
The most recent armed mugging comes on the heels of a woman who was sexually assaulted in the park at West 97 Street and West Drive, and a man who was accosted Friday morning by a gun-toting trio while he took photos of the lake inside the iconic greenspace at East 59th Street and East Drive, cops said.
One of the robbers pointed a firearm at the 41-year-old’s head while the other two both punched him in the face, cops said.
They then stole an iPhone 8, an iPhone 13 and a wallet from him before taking off on mopeds on a bike path, police said.
In the sexual assault, the perv pounced on the woman around 7:20 p.m. Thursday, grabbing her by the arm and demanding, “Give me your phone, give me your wallet, give me sex,” authorities said.
He then punched her in the face and knocked her to the ground, taking off with her iPhone 11, police said.
He rubbed the woman’s breast with his arm and told her, “I want to have sex with you,” law enforcement sources said.
The brute who was described as being 5-foot-9 with curly short black hair, wearing all black — took off and hasn’t been caught, cops said.
The woman refused medical treatment.
It wasn’t clear if any of the attacks were related and investigators were canvassing the park for video, cops said.
