A group of hoodlums stole the sneakers right off the feet of a Long Island teen after brutally beating and stabbing him aboard a Brooklyn subway train, authorities said yesterday.
Roman Gill, 17, and about nine cohorts accosted the boy, who is from Roosevelt, on an eastbound A train at Nostrand Avenue Station in Bedford-Stuyvesant at 1:12 a.m. on April 13, cops said.
The thugs punched and kicked the boy, then plunged a knife into his ribcage, sources said. They also swiped his cellphone and took the sneakers off his feet.
The boy managed to call his mom, who phoned cops. He was rushed to Kings County Hospital, where he was treated for the puncture wound.
Gill was arrested Wednesday.
