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.

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
