NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - The NYPD is asking for the public's help tracking down the teen attackers of a 17-year-old in the Bronx.

The victim was slashed in the head on June 8 at about 8:30 a.m. in the area of East 196th Street and Jerome Avenue.

They also punched the boy repeatedly, said cops. He was treated at a local hospital with a head wound.

The assailants are all males between the ages of 14-18.
