A third shocking attack has unfolded in Central Park in just two days — as three young teens tried to rob a man at gunpoint late Friday night, cops said.
In the latest attack, the armed muggers — who appeared to be 14 or 15 years old — approached a 25-year-old man and told him to hand over his iPhone 11 around 10:12 p.m. at 110th Street and East Drive, cops said.
The teens fled without any of the man’s belongings, according to police.

The most recent armed mugging comes on the heels of a woman who was sexually assaulted in the park at West 97 Street and West Drive, and a man who was accosted Friday morning by a gun-toting trio while he took photos of the lake inside the iconic greenspace at East 59th Street and East Drive, cops said.
One of the robbers pointed a firearm at the 41-year-old’s head while the other two both punched him in the face, cops said.
