Cops this week were still investigating an incident in Equity Park in Woodhaven in which a 14-year-old boy was beaten with a baseball bat, according to police and a city parks activist.
The boy was jumped last Thursday evening inside the 91st Street park by three other teens who fled on foot, said Geoffrey Croft in a Friday afternoon post on his A Walk in the Park blog.
The victim was rushed to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center with head injuries.
The assailants are described as Hispanic boys, 14 and 15 years old, between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-7.
In recent Participatory Budgeting sessions in Woodhaven with City Councilman Eric Ulrich’s (R-Ozone Park) office, civic leaders have called for safety improvements at the 1.6-acre park.
