The 13-year-old migrant approached a pedestrian asking for a photo, and when denied, he and his friends violently attacked, stabbing the victim in the back and leg.
The arrested teenager, noted for prior criminal activity, indicates a troubling trend with juveniles engaging in increasingly violent crimes, as highlighted by recent observations.
Michael Lipetri, NYPD Chief, remarked on escalating juvenile crime, stating 'we are seeing juveniles commit five, six, seven robberies,' reflecting a disturbing pattern of youth violence.
The attempted robbery underscores the risks pedestrians face, as innocuous requests can quickly escalate into dangerous confrontations, particularly in high-traffic areas like Times Square.
