On April 19 at 3:09 p.m., a youth was on a public-transit bus at 7th Road South at South Florida Street when two juveniles approached him and demanded his sweatshirt, Arlington police said.

The victim refused and attempted to leave the bus, during which the suspects allegedly pushed him, prevented him from leaving, and made threatening statements toward him, police said.

The victim then removed his sweatshirt and fled the bus. He was treated on scene by medics for injuries sustained.

Petitions were obtained for the two juvenile suspects for robbery, abduction and conspiracy to commit a felony.
