14-year-old boys in Palermo threaten peer with knife over bike.

Two boys allegedly surrounded and threatened a schoolmate with a knife to steal his bike. The State Police arrested a fourteen-year-old boy yesterday afternoon, and reported another teenager, for an attempted robbery not far from the Alberghiero in Palermo, the school they all attend. It all happened around 8 am, just before the bell rang. The victim, also 14 years old, was on his way to school when the two boys allegedly blocked him in an attempt to frighten him and steal his bike. The victim screamed, causing the two boys to flee.

The screams attracted the attention of other students and passers-by, some of whom were able to photograph the pair of robbers. Still in shock, the young boy went to school, used a chain to lock the bike to a gate, and approached the principal before calling 112. After investigations, one of the fourteen-year-olds was reported on foot while his friend was arrested and taken to Malaspina pending a validation hearing.
