Police from the 109th Precinct<\/a> in Flushing<\/a> are looking for three bullies who allegedly attacked a 13-year-old-boy at Kissena Park late last month. <\/p>\n

Police say the incident occurred on the afternoon of Thursday, April 23, when the youngster was approached by three strangers across from I.S. 237 at 46-21 Colden St. and started to argue with him at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

The verbal dispute escalated into physical violence when the trio repeatedly punched and kicked the victim in his face and body, before running off in an unknown direction. The youngster sustained a fractured nose and facial swelling and was transported by EMS to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n

The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspects and described them as having light complexion in their late teens. One wore a white hooded sweatshirt and black pants. The second suspect wore a black hooded sweatshirt and black sweatpants while the third assailant had black hair and wore a black short-sleeved jersey and black jeans.<\/p>\n

A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for information that leads to their arrest and indictment.\n<\/p>\n

Anyone with information regarding this assault investigation is asked to call the NYPD\u2019s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org<\/a> or on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are strictly confidential.<\/p>\n
