3-year-old mugged in St. Paul
Posted June 20th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.startribune.comIt’s like taking jewelry from a baby.
A 3-year-old boy waiting to be examined at a St. Paul medical clinic became one of the city’s youngest robbery victims Wednesday when an unknown teenager hit him before tearing off the gold necklace the toddler was wearing.
St. Paul police spokesman Tom Walsh said the incident occurred about 11 a.m. at the East Side Family Clinic, 860 Arcade St. The unidentified teenager, who authorities believe is 17, hit the boy in the head, grabbed the necklace and ran from the waiting room before fleeing on a bicycle, Walsh said. The toddler was not hurt.
