The kids were sledding on Monday night at 5:35pm when they were approached by three black males who asked if they could use the sleds.
They said yes but when the assailants, who are now believed to between the ages of 10-16, finished they began to walk towards the exit of the park with the sleds, according to police.
When they asked for the sleds back the thieves threatened them.
One thug pushed the girl down and punched her in the head.
