Teen killed, another wounded in vicious stabbing on NYC sidewalk: cops

A 17-year-old boy was killed and another teen wounded during a vicious stabbing on a Lower Manhattan sidewalk Thursday night that left onlookers horrified by the bloody scene.  

Two teens were stabbed when a fight erupted outside 17 John Street in the Financial District around 7:39 p.m., according to the NYPD. 

The 17-year-old was stabbed in the chest and an 18-year-old man was knifed in the left arm. 

Both victims were rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where the younger victim succumbed to his injuries, police said. The other victim remains in stable condition. 

The duo — who were not identified — were stabbed with a knife, according to law enforcement sources.

No arrests have been made. 

Witnesses said the brutal slaying happened on the sidewalk outside Kuu, a popular ramen restaurant. 

“I was walking back from class and I saw a bunch of people screaming. I kinda look up and it looks like this kid is holding his neck and his friends are screaming,” one witness, who requested anonymity, told The Post. 

“It was just a bunch of blood coming out of his mouth and maybe his neck as well. I’ve never seen so much blood in my life. The kid collapsed. He looked like he tried to get back up again. He collapsed again. It was like straight out of a horror movie.”

Javier Pau was enjoying a bowl of spicy pork ramen inside the eatery when he looked up and saw one of the teen victims covered in blood and two other people in jackets running away. 

He said the stabbing left him sick to his stomach. 

“I got light headed. I went to the bathroom” Pau told The Post. 

“That was my first time seeing that. It sucked. I lost my appetite.”

Police currently have the area cordoned off as investigators probe the scene.

The investigation remains ongoing.
