Jackson Heights Subway Brawl Leads To Teen's Stabbing: Police

CORONA, NY — A teenage boy was stabbed in the neck last week during a fight that started at a Jackson Heights subway station, police said. Cops say they're looking for two other teens involved in the brawl, one of whom was allegedly the stabber.

The 15-year-old victim got into a fight with the two other boys around 5:15 p.m. on Sept. 25 following a dispute at the Junction Boulevard 7 train stop, the NYPD said. The trio eventually left the station and continued the fight nearby around 98th Street and 37th Avenue in North Corona, police said.

It was there that one of the other teens stabbed the 15-year-old in the neck with a sharp object before the pair fled on foot, cops said. The boy was taken to NYC Health+Hospitals/Elmhurst in serious but stable condition, the NYPD said.

Both the boys police are searching for are described as Hispanic and 15 to 17 years old. One stands 5-foot-6, weighs 140 pounds and was last seen wearing a black shirt, black sneakers and black sweatpants, police said.

The other also stands 5-foot-6, weighs 180 pounds and was last seen wearing white sneakers and dark-colored jeans, according to police. He also carried a white shirt in his hands, the NYPD said.
