The NYPD is on the hunt for a trio of teen muggers who viciously roughed up a woman inside Central Park earlier this month — as stick-ups in the greenspace continue to surge.
Cops released images of the three babyfaced robbers — believed to range in age from 15 to 17 — who approached a 27-year-old woman inside the park at 67 West Drive around 11:45 p.m. Aug. 11.
They grabbed the woman by her arm and demanded that she fork over her belongings, police said.

Police described the second suspect as a man with a slim build, last seen wearing a multi-colored hat, a white T-shirt, black shorts, white sneakers, and carrying a black cross-body bag.
The third teen is also described as having a slim build, last seen wearing a black baseball hat, a black T-shirt, and white shorts.

But earlier this month, an 11-year-old boy who was busted in a Queens subway robbery was linked to a spate of heists in Central Park carried out by migrant kids, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell revealed.
A group of up to 12 migrant boys or young men have been connected to roughly 10 robberies in Central Park, Chell said.
Robberies within the iconic park have more than doubled so far this year compared to the same period in 2023, according to the latest NYPD data, updated Sunday.
A total of 34 robberies have been reported so far this year, compared to 13 within the same time frame last year, the statistics show.
