Multiple Teens Charged After Violent Stabbing In Brightwaters: Police

BRIGHTWATERS, N.Y. — Three additional teenagers have been arrested in connection with the stabbing of a 17-year-old boy during a fight in Brightwaters last month, Suffolk County police said.

Third Squad detectives arrested a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old boy — both from Bay Shore — on Dec. 9, according to Suffolk County police. Each is charged with second-degree gang assault, police said. They were arraigned Tuesday in the Youth Part of First District Court in Central Islip.

Police said detectives also arrested a 15-year-old Bay Shore boy on Wednesday. He is charged with first-degree gang assault and first-degree assault. He is being held overnight at a juvenile facility in Nassau County and is scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday in the Youth Part of First District Court.

Their names are being withheld due to their ages.

The charges stem from a November 19 fight in the rear parking lot of 169 Orinoco Drive, where police said they found a 17-year-old boy with multiple stab wounds. He was taken to a local hospital in serious condition.

A fourth teenager — a 17-year-old boy — was previously arrested and charged with second-degree gang assault, police said.
