And violence perpetrated by minors is no joke: teen gangs are responsible for about 40 percent of all city shootings. Now police are looking for a group of teens who have been connected with at least five incidents of assault over the last couple weeks.<br \/>\nCops say the first incident happened on Thursday January 22nd, when the teens put a 15-year-old male into a chokehold and demanded his money and phone. They then attacked three more teenagers over the next week, stealing at least one more phone. Then this past Saturday, they moved onto adults, attacking a 39-year-old newsstand worker and stealing several items.<br \/>\nMost of the incident happened around West 93rd Street and Columbus area.
