PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia Police are searching for four suspects who they say attacked an 11-year-old in Olney last month.

Police say the victim was playing basketball at a playground near A and Champlost Streets around 5 p.m. on July 12 when four teens began chasing him.

The suspects caught up to the victim in a nearby alley and forced him to remove his clothes at gunpoint.

Police say they then began punching him in the stomach and face.

The suspects, believed to be around 14 or 15 years old, then ran off.

Police say the suspects were wearing red and white clothing.
