CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A high school freshman was robbed at gunpoint while waiting for his bus Monday morning.

The 14-year-old was waiting for a bus to Mallard Creek High School just after 6 a.m. on Tom Hunter Road in north Charlotte.

The teen said a man walked up to him and asked him if he knew what time it was, and a second man walked up from behind and shoved a gun into his waist.

The thieves took the teen’s MP3 players and his wallet, which only contained a few dollars.

The 14-year-old wasn't hurt and he ran for help.

The men got away.

Eyewitness News spoke with the teen’s father, who can't believe robbers would prey on someone that young.

"These little cowards stole from a 14-year-old. What would you expect to get from a 14-year-old?" asked Charles Walters, the victim's father.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools officials said they have moved the student’s bus stop to a new location and authorities will increase patrols around CMS bus stops throughout the county.
