A Brentwood teenager was walking on Suffolk Avenue when he found 30-year-old Nicholas Rieth and Alicia Descalzo, 26, lying unconscious on the ground with a toddler wandering nearby, at the rear of Universal Church at 1:50 p.m., police said. The teen called 911 and waited with the child until police arrived.
