The 15-year-old held in police custody over the three dart attacks that occurred late Sunday night claimed his friend pulled the trigger on the dart gun.
At a hearing, the teen pointed the finger at an unnamed friend and stated that his friend fired the darts from a roof at 86th Street and Bay 32nd Street, and that he only handed the darts to his accomplice. He did, however, admit to buying the blowgun and the darts online.
Police searched the bedroom of the teen and found 11 darts, the same kind that had been used to assault the three male victims.
The teen has no prior arrests but has been suspended from school for knife possession and for fighting. Cops are currently looking for the second suspect, according to DNAinfo.com.
Another hearing is set for sometime at the end of May.

A 15-year-old teenager was questioned by police after three men were sent to the hospital with dart related injuries.
Police suspect he fired the darts from his apartment window or the roof of a building somewhere on 86th Street.
They searched the area surrounding the scene of the crime and found 10 darts scattered around at 2246 86th Street.
A police source told the New York Daily News that the darts were probably fired from the roof of the building.
Investigators have yet to reveal what motivations the accused teen had.

Three people were wounded yesterday evening, after a mysterious assailant shot them with darts as they walked near 86th Street, police revealed today.
Here’s from NBC New York:
Police say one man in his 60s was struck in the back and leg, another man around the same age was hit in the stomach and another man in his 40s was also hit, although it was not clear where.
The darts appeared to come from a blow gun. The attacks were all in the area of Bay 32nd Street and Bay 36th Street.
None of the victims appear to have been seriously wounded and were taken to Coney Island Hospital for treatment.
All of the attacks happened around 7:00 p.m., police said. They believe the darts were fired from a blowgun.

Sushi?
No one at the Bean is entirely sure what this veiled new business on 86th Street and West 13th Street will be. When a fateful gust of wind blew some of the red paper covering off, someone may have seen the word “sushi.”
