Police have arrested a 13-year-old boy in connection with the attack of a 12-year-old Brooklyn boy who claimed he was a victim of the “Knockout Game.”
The suspect was taken to the 71st Precinct in Crown Heights by his mother, charged with third-degree assault and aggravated harassment and then released back into his mother’s custody, police told 1010 WINS. He is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.
According to a news release by the Jewish Future Alliance, the alleged attacker denies that he was playing the “Knockout Game,” in which youths sucker punch innocent bystanders for kicks.
The Nov. 6 attack on the Jewish child took place on President Street and Brooklyn Avenue in Crown Heights.
