Four arrests have been made for the attempted robbery of a 63-year-old fruit vendor on 84th and Lexington Avenue.
“After surrounding their victim & demanding money, they fled empty handed—our officers quickly responded & found all four criminals, and recovered a knife & stun-gun on the suspects,” the NYPD’s 19th Precinct tweeted.
An NYPD spokesperson told East Side Feed that all four arrestees are males between the ages of 17 and 19, all residents of the Bronx. They’ve each been charged with robbery.
