Police are searching for man who they say robbed a 13-year-old boy inside his apartment building in Morrisania.

Officials tell News 12 that the suspect got on the elevator with the child on May 28 at the Forest Houses and asked for money.

When the boy said he didn’t have any, the suspect punched him in the face, grabbed his iPhone out of his pocket and fled.

The suspect is described only as a man with braids.
