The NYPD has arrested a 13-year-old boy in connection with an attack on a 12-year-old boy.
The alleged incident occurred on Nov. 6 at President Street and Brooklyn Avenue in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights section.
Police say the 13-year-old was arrested on Monday and charged with assault and aggravated harassment.
The teen was released into the custody of his mother.
According to a news release by the Jewish Future Alliance, the 13-year-old denies that he was playing the “knockout game.”
The teen was arrested Monday after being taken to the 71st Precinct in Crown Heights by his mother. He was charged with assault and aggravated harassment and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.

Custody of his mother didn’t keep him in line before. Why should we expect it to now?
anyone caught doing a “knockout” has to be severely charged and punished, then it will stop.
