A 13-year-old boy lost his scooter during a confrontation in Crotona Park, where one of two people threatened him with a knife, according to News12 | Bronx. The report says the pair left on scooters, but does not specify when the incident happened, whether the teen was hurt or whether anyone was arrested.
Precinct totals offer only broad context
Crotona Park is within the NYPD’s 42nd Precinct, according to the department’s precinct information. NYPD CompStat recorded 225 robberies there year to date through the week of Sept. 14–20, 2026, compared with 331 during the same period in 2025, a 32% decrease, according to its 42nd Precinct report.
Those figures cover the entire precinct, not Crotona Park alone, and do not identify scooter-related robberies. They provide a broader measure of reported robbery, but cannot show whether this incident reflects a pattern at the park.
