The attack happened around 5:00 p.m. on Friday on Richmond Terrace in Port Richmond.

He was hit several times. The attackers also took his backpack.

The victim was taken to Richmond University Medical Center. Officials said he suffered head trauma, a broken jaw and needed stitches above his eye.

Investigators are still looking for the attackers.
