NEW YORK CITY — A vicious and deadly stabbing by a group of youngsters kicked off a violent weekend in New York City that left six people dead and four others wounded, police said.

Six men — the youngest of whom was 19 — were stabbed and shot in The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens in a 53-hour span between 9:45 p.m. Friday and 2:45 a.m. Monday morning, police.
