STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Brooklyn teen is accused of ganging up on two young boys in Sliver Lake Park earlier this month, attacking them and robbing them of their bicycles.
Kevin Borrome, 18, and three accomplices ganged up on the two boys — ages 12 and 13 — as they were riding through the park at about 8 p.m. April 18, police allege.
"Nice bike!" one of them yelled, authorities allege, before Borrome and one of his accomplices commanded one of the boys to give up his bicycle.
When the boy didn’t comply, Borrome punched him in the face, and went through his pockets to steal cash and a cell phone, court papers allege. One of the accomplices took the bike, police said.
Borrome’s other two accomplices surrounded the second boy, punching him in the face as well before they took cash, a phone and the bike, police allege.
Police arrested Borrome Tuesday, charging him with two counts each of second- and third-degree robbery, fourth-degree grand larceny, petit larceny, fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and third-degree assault.
The other three suspects remain at large.
