Child who could be just 10 years old wanted in Central Park mugging attempt

The NYPD is looking for two children, one as young as 10-years-old, who attempted to mug a woman in Central Park.

Police say it happened on Monday night.

A 38-year-old woman was in the area of Fifth Ave. and East 107th Street when she was approached by a girl demanding her cell phone.

When the woman refused, a second child grabbed her pocketbook, but was unable to pull it away.

The children and a third person ran off. Surveillance photos of the trio were released on Thursday.
