WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY -- Two teenagers are shaken-up after an attempted Wilkes-Barre robbery.

It happened Saturday night around 10:30 near Huber and Stanton Streets. Police say a 16-year-old and 17-year-old were walking home when four men approached the pair.

One of the suspects asked the teens for "weed or money" then flashed a knife. One of the teens was able to run away but the other was surrounded -- and punched in the mouth.

He managed to get away with a fat lip. Police were unable to track down the suspects.
