Two youngsters were attacked by three people at a Thane garden recently. Two young men went to the garden adjacent to a lake in the area to shoot a video. They were approached by attackers armed with knives, who were trying to steal their mobile phones. Both the boys managed to escape.

Security is a problem in parks and while one sympathises with the boys, it is important to stay away from gardens after closing time. The wall of this garden, like several others in the city, is broken and the Thane municipal authorities need to move double quick to fix this.
