Teenager Stabbed At Huntington Station Park: Police

HUNTINGTON STATION, NY — A teenager was stabbed at Manor Field Park in Huntington Station on Monday night, Suffolk police said.

A 17-year-old boy suffered a superficial stab wound to his torso during a fight with another male at the park, located at East Fifth Street and Lenox Road, around 7:15 p.m., police said.

The teenager was transported to a local hospital where he was treated and released, police said. Anyone with information was asked to call the Second Squad at 631-854-8252.

It marks the second teenager-involved stabbing in three weeks, according to the police.

Two teenagers were stabbed July 15 in Huntington Station, Suffolk police said. A 14-year-old boy was stabbed and seriously injured when a group of teenagers and young men became involved in a fight while at the annual Huntington Manor Fire Department fair, police said. A 17-year-old boy suffered stab wounds that are not life-threatening, police said. Both were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment, police said.

No arrest has been made in either stabbing as of Tuesday afternoon, police said.

The Town of Huntington is set to enhance patrols of its Public Safety officers in and around its parks following the two teenager-involved stabbings, Huntington Supervisor Edmund Smyth said.

"The violence that has occurred at Huntington Station Parks over the last few weeks is extremely concerning," Smyth said in a statement. "As this incident is being investigated by the Suffolk County Police Department Second Precinct, we must defer all questions to them so as not to impede or interfere with their work. However, the Town of Huntington will continue to work closely with the Second Precinct to assist in any way they deem appropriate ... The safety of our community is of paramount concern to the Town and we will do everything within our power to keep our parks and public spaces a safe place for all our residents."
