Trio Tries To Stab Teen After Robbing His Friend In Queens: NYPD

FLUSHING, QUEENS -- Police are searching for the last at-large member of a trio that allegedly attempted to stab a 17-year-old in broad daylight after stealing his friend's headphones in Flushing.

The teen and his 18-year-old friend were walking near Main Street near Roosevelt Avenue at around 2:19 p.m. when the three guys approached them and took the 18-year-old's Beats headphones, cops told Patch.

One member of the trio then punched the 17-year-old in his face before another tried to stab him, police said.

Camilo Mosquera, 25, and an unidentified minor were arrested later that day for the crimes and both charged with assault, robbery, misapplication of property and criminal possession of a weapon, an NYPD spokeswoman said. It is unclear which one attempted to stab the teen, she said.

The third man, who police believed punched the teen, is still at large.

On Wednesday evening, the NYPD released surveillance footage of him clad in a hooded black Adidas jacket with white stripes down the arms and red sneakers. He is believed to be around 18 years old.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
