People like Paul say they are thankful for the police presence.
"I'm really concerned about it, there shouldn't be any robberies in the park because there's a whole lot of patrols of under cover officers out here, so there shouldn't be any robberies," he said. "It's a shame that people are getting robbed."
The 16-year-old was robbed on Saturday near 79th Street and Fifth Avenue in broad daylight, Baumgarten reported.
