It happened near Rochester Avenue and Carroll Street in the Crown Heights section just before 7 p.m. Sunday.

Officials recovered the suspected weapon near the scene and will determine if it was used to assault the victim.

The victim was apparently attacked by a group of teens who fled the park on foot.
