A 13-year-old migrant boy and three masked buddies stabbed a man in a brass-knuckle beatdown near Times Square – all because he wouldn’t take their photo, cops and sources said.
The Ecuadorian teen and his pals approached the 23-year-old victim around 9 p.m. at West 40th Street and Second Avenue and asked him to snap their picture, police and sources said.
When the pedestrian said no, the crew ganged up on him – socking him in the face and knifing him in the back and leg, authorities said.
They also tried to grab his cellphone but were unsuccessful, cops said.
The suspects ran off, but cops managed to nab the young teen after searching the area with the victim, police said.
The youngster – whose last known address is the notoriously violence-ridden Roosevelt Hotel – was charged with second-degree robbery, cops and sources said.
The victim refused medical attention after the violent encounter with the stab wounds only superficial, authorities and police said.
