The police are looking for four suspects who used a cane and a stick to beat a 15-year-old boy outside a deli in Astoria Monday.
The four suspects, all teenage males, approached the victim at around 4:15 p.m. outside Bread & Butter Deli & Grill, located at 48-02 Broadway, and began attacking him, cops said.
One of the suspects allegedly hit the victim with a cane while another assailant used a stick to strike the 15-year-old, police said.
The group then fled the scene in a white Mazda SUV southbound on 48th Street, police said.
The victim was transported to NYC Health & Hospitals/Harlem in stable condition, the NYPD said.
The 15-year-old told police that he did not know the assailants, cops said.
During the alleged attack, the suspects made a statement to the victim saying that they had been in a dispute with one of his friends, police said. It is unclear what the quarrel was about.
The police released images of the four teens wanted for questioning.
