According to police, the girl was in Williamsburg, near Throop Avenue and Bartlett Street, shortly before 6 p.m. on July 28 when "three male individuals" approached her.

One of them punched her in the chest with a closed fist while the other two grabbed her scooter.

All three ran off along Throop Avenue. The girl was treated at the scene. Her scooter was worth an estimated $30.
