Police are asking for the public’s help identifying three people who robbed a teenage boy at knifepoint on March 29.

Investigators say the 14-year-old victim was surrounded by the suspects while on the westbound BX9 bus near West 231 Street and Broadway.

One of the suspects pulled out a knife and demanded the boy hand over his belongings.

They followed the teen as he exited the bus and then forcibly removed $40 from his pants pocket.
