A tragic incident occurred on Friday morning in the Bronx, where a 14-year-old boy was fatally stabbed in broad daylight outside a public housing complex. The attack took place around 9:25 a.m. behind a building on East 138th Street near Lincoln Avenue, which is part of NYCHA’s Mitchel Houses in Mott Haven. The young boy was stabbed twice in the chest and was found unconscious and unresponsive. He was quickly rushed to Lincoln Medical Center, but unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries.
The authorities have not made any arrests yet, and details about the suspect or motive behind the attack remain unknown. It is reported that the teen had no prior arrests, adding to the mystery surrounding this tragic incident.
This heartbreaking event adds to a string of violence involving young people in the city. On New Year’s Day, 10 teenagers were shot outside a club in Queens, and just a day later, a 17-year-old boy was shot outside his school in Brooklyn. The rise in violence among teens is a cause for concern and calls for urgent action to ensure the safety and well-being of the youth in the city.
The community is left mourning the loss of a young life and seeking justice for the senseless act of violence that took place in broad daylight. The incident serves as a reminder of the need for increased security measures and support for at-risk youth in vulnerable neighborhoods. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the young boy who tragically lost his life in this heartbreaking attack.
