PORTLAND — A 16-year-old Portland boy says he was lured into a shed, where three boys beat and robbed him and one of them carved a swastika into his forehead.

The Feb. 10 assault reportedly ended when the boy escaped and ran to a store.

He told police he was lured to the shed by a 15-year-old girl. There, police said, a boy shot him with a BB gun three times.

Police said a boy, 15, later confessed to using a box cutter to carve a swastika into the other boy’s forehead.

A prosecutor said the girl and two boys will be prosecuted as adults. A third boy, 14, will be prosecuted in juvenile court.
