The suspect put the boy in a headlock and asked him for money. He then forced the victim to Bronx Park and asked him for money once more at knife-point, according to police.
When the boy said no, the man allegedly punched him in the face, pulled his pants down, and sexually assaulted him.
The area is full of children and other people walking at most times of the day. Parents at a nearby school were shocked.
"A parent should walk with their young kids, they shouldn't let young kids walk by themselves," one parent told CBS2's Alice Gainer.
The suspect was described as a Hispanic male between 17 and 19-years-old with a thin build and braces on his teeth. He was last seen wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, white and blue sneakers, and blue jeans.
