An 18-year-old walking along a street Thursday night in Freeport was jumped by a trio of teenage robbers who stole his cellphone, police said.

The robbery took place at 8:10 p.m. on Jay Street.

The three then ran after the victim, police said, knocking him to the ground, where they punched him in the head -- and demanded his money.

The robbers went through the victim's pockets, taking his phone, police said.

Police ask anyone with information about the robbery to call Crime Stoppers at 800-244-TIPS. All calls will remain confidential.
