The robbery, which was caught on camera, happened inside the lobby of an apartment building on Melrose Avenue at around 3 p.m. on March 9. 
According to police, the 16-year-old victim was waiting for an elevator when the three men approached. One pulled out a gun, and two of the suspects appear to be holding canes of some sort. 
The teen complied with the men, handing over his cellphone and $100, cops say. He was not hurt.
