The Fifth Squad reports details of two arrests for robbery made Nov. 20 at 4:35 p.m. in South Floral Park.

According to Detective Robert Conklin of the Fifth Squad, on Nov. 20 at approximately 2:30 p.m. defendants Tomas Terrero, 17, and Alejandro Campiz, 18, both of Arthur Avenue in South Floral Park, acted in concert to allegedly rob a 17-year-old victim of his cell phone and money, allegedly assaulting him and threatening him with a knife before fleeing with the phone.

Subsequently, at about 4:35 p.m., three friends of the victim went to the defendants' residence to retrieve the stolen phone, whereupon the defendants, and a third subject not yet arrested, allegedly assaulted them with baseball bats and a broomstick, causing one victim, Robert Viscusi, 21, of Oak Street in Floral Park, to sustain a skull fracture, for which he was later admitted to Winthrop-University Hospital for emergency surgery. Two other victims were treated at Franklin General Hospital for other related but less severe injuries.

Police officers responding to a 911 call for an assault at the defendants' residence recovered the victim's cell phone as well as the bats and knife. Both Terrero and Campiz were charged with first-degree robbery, first-degree gang assault, first-degree assault (two counts) and second-degree assault (two counts). Both were slated for arraignment in First District Court in Hempstead Nov. 21.
