Two teens arrested after violent elevator assault and mugging

Two teen boys were arrested after assaulting an 18-year-old girl and stealing her purse in Midwood on Sunday, cops said.

Tyler Hoppin and Malique Young, both 18 and from Brooklyn, were charged with robbery after dragging the girl out of an elevator in her apartment building on July 27th , according to police.

Cops say Hoppin was also charged with assault and criminal possession of stolen property after police found him in possession of the woman’s stolen purse.

Surveillance video from inside the Midwood apartment lobby and hallway shows both men as the men punched and kicked the victim before running off with her purse.

Hoppin was arrested on Wednesday while his accomplice Young was nabbed on Thursday, according to police.
