One of three children the NYPD had been looking for in connection with an attempted mugging in Central Park was arrested, said police.
The 13-year-old girl was taken into custody early Friday.
The victim, a 38-year-old woman, was in the area of Fifth Ave. and East 107th Street when she was approached by a girl demanding her cell phone Monday night, police said.
When the woman refused, a second child grabbed her pocketbook, but was unable to pull it away.
The children and a third person ran off. Surveillance photos of the trio were released on Thursday.
