A 15-year-old boy was robbed at knife point in Flushing last month by a trio of thieves who took his cellphone before hopping aboard an MTA bus as their getaway vehicle.

The teenage boy was near 142nd Street and 59th Avenue when he was approached from behind by three young males on Jan. 26 at 8:35 p.m.

The three brandished knives and demanded his property, police said.

The teen handed over his cellphone and the group ran southbound on 142nd Street and were last seen aboard a southbound Q44 bus as it traveled on Main Street, according to police.
