Police are searching for a young man who allegedly snatched a teenage boy’s headphones and punched another youth in the face on a Flushing street on March 5.
The suspect, who is believed to be about 18, was walking with two other teens near Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue around 2:19 p.m when they spotted a pair of teenage boys, one 17 and the other 18.
