A 14-year-old boy was stabbed on Staten Island Tuesday evening — and cops are looking for a 13-year-old suspect — as youth violence engulfs the city, authorities said.
The boy was stabbed in the leg, just above the knee, during a clash around 5:45 p.m. near a building on Broad Street near Gordon Street, part of NYCHA’s Stapleton Houses, cops and sources said.
He was taken to Staten Island University Hospital North, where he was listed in stable condition.
A 13-year-old suspect, last seen wearing gray sweatpants, fled the scene and was still on the loose Wednesday.
The motive for the violence was not immediately known.
The 14-year-old is the latest teen assaulted across the city since a flurry of violence began over the weekend, authorities said.
A 16-year-old boy took a bullet to the left foot at East 176th Street and Webster Avenue in the Tremont section of the Bronx minutes before 8 p.m. Monday, cops said.
He was transported to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, and a weapon was recovered at the scene.
“Multiple persons of interest” were taken into custody, authorities said.
It was unclear Wednesday whether any were formally charged.
Another 16-year-old boy was blasted in the leg around 12:15 a.m. Monday at Avenue D and Troy Avenue in Flatbush, Brooklyn, cops said.
