NEW YORK (WABC) -- Four police officers were injured -- one with a fractured hand -- arresting teen suspects in the attempted robbery of tourists in Central Park last night.
The 15-year-olds reportedly jumped their victims, tourists from Spain, near West Drive at West 85th Street at around 9:15 p.m.
Poice say two boys punched a 33-year-old man in the face, while a 15-year-old girl tried to swipe a 26-year-old woman's purse.
She failed to get the purse, and the victims fled -- with the suspects chasing.
