EAST GARDEN CITY, NY — Three teenagers were arrested after what was believed to be a gunpoint robbery Monday in East Garden City, police said.

According to Nassau County police, the incident took place at 11:20 p.m., when a 56-year-old man, walking in the vicinity of a parking garage near Macy's, was approached by three teens.
