Four teenagers have been arrested on charges that they harassed and struck a priest who runs a Queens shelter for transgender and gay youth. Some of the shelter's residents were also attacked, officials said on Tuesday.

The victims had minor injuries, the police said.

The priest, the Rev. Louis Braxton Jr., said he was returning to the shelter, Carmen's Place, on Steinway Street in Astoria, about 10:30 on Monday night when he saw a group of youths hit a resident on the head with a bag of garbage.
