The teens reportedly began the morning at 4:45am by surrounding a 41-year-old man near 33 Gold Street in Manhattan as he walked to work. Cops say they assaulted him and stole his cell phone and cash before fleeing on foot into a subway station.

They seem to have taken a 2 or 3 train to Borough Hall, where, at 5:40am, they allegedly approached a 32-year-old man inside the station, again surrounding and assaulting the victim in order to steal his cell phone and wallet.
