LYNN — A 13-year-old boy from Lynn told police he was assaulted and robbed by three males Wednesday night on North Common Street.
Lynn Police responded to a children’s hospital in Salem to speak with the teenager, who told officers he had been assaulted in the area of the Commons, and had scratches, bruises and swelling to his head and face, Lynn Police Lt. Rick Donnelly said.
Donnelly said the alleged assault happened at approximately 8 p.m., when the boy was visiting a friend’s house on North Common Street. The boy told police three males between 16-20 years old jumped him from behind, and began punching him.
The assailants, who were wearing all black clothing and had bandanas on their faces, allegedly threw him to the ground, where they punched and kicked him several times, Donnelly said.
The boy had his phone stolen, but didn’t see what direction the assailants fled to, Donnelly said.
The incident is under investigation.
