10-year-old boy accused of setting fire to a store and mugging an old woman – Mom says he is a good kid

New York – A 10-year-old Brooklynite (picture: mom and son) accused of mugging a 67-year-old grandma and torching a local business is “a one-kid crime wave . . . a very troubled young individual,” Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said of the alleged prepubescent pyromaniac said Thursday.

The pint-sized perp, who’s yet to hit 5 feet tall, arrived Thursday for a Family Court hearing with his mother — who attacked a photographer, swinging her purse at him, as they left for home.

“My son is awesome. He’s a good kid,” the mother snapped before heading off. “You paint him like he’s all bad. He’s not.”

Neighbors disagreed, describing the tiny terror Thursday as “the worst kid in New York City.” More
