Police say a teen in Stamford was attacked over a girl and an iPhone, and residents are expressing concern that the area is becoming less safe.

Police say the 14-year-old boy was beaten and robbed by other teens Monday. It is the latest act of violence to happen in the area.

According to police, an 85-year-old woman was attacked in November outside Stamford Town Center. Another incident involved a man firing several rounds into a crowd outside a nightclub. Police say there was also an attack on two teens outside the mall.
