Armed teenagers knocked down and kicked a 60-year-old woman while pointing a gun at her head this weekend, officials said.

And then the heartless junior thugs stole the woman's food stamps, cops said.

The Randolph Avenue woman was at Arlington and Claremont avenues at 4:40 a.m. Sunday when two teenage boys approached her and pushed her to the ground, saying, "Give me what you got," reports said.

One of the teens pressed a handgun to her right temple and the other kicked her in the arm before they took her fanny pack, reports said.

Besides the food stamps, the boys got away with her cell phone and bus pass, reports said.
