Man, 19, stabbed during fight with preteens on Bronx train

A young man was stabbed in his hip while he was fighting with a group of pre -adolescents, the youngest, 11, on a Bronx train on Saturday, the police announced.

The bloodshed occurred in the midst of a wave of violence in the borough, which saw five murders in six days, plus several other people injured in separate shootings.

The victim told the police that he was riding a n ° 6 northern train around 3:30 am when he argued with the three children.

The argument continued when the train reached St. Lawrence Ave. at Westchester Ave. In the SoundView section of the Bronx.

Just before the man got out of the train, one of the teenagers collapsed and stuck a knife in his hip, said cops. The victim surrounded the train, while his attackers stayed when he left the station.

The agents who responded apprehended the teenagers during the last train stop at Pelham Bay Park station, officials said. The criminal charges were not immediately deposited.

EMS precipitated the injured man at Jacobi hospital, where he was treated for a minor injury, said cops.

Mayor Eric Adams said Thursday that NYPD would attribute 1,000 additional cops to write crime in the borough in difficulty.

He made this announcement on Haffen Park basketball court in Baychester, where a mass tournament linked to a gang during a basketball tournament on August 23 made a dead man and four injured, including a teenager in critical condition with a bullet deposited behind her eye.

“The shooters are becoming younger and younger, and the victims are becoming younger and younger,” said Adams at the time. “We cannot continue to do this.”

Two of the four suspects arrested in the park massacre were minors, officials said.

One day before the shooting of the tournament, four teenagers aged 13 to 15 were injured when shots broke out around 4 p.m. on Avenue Tratman near St. Peters Ave., at the bottom of the Pearly Gates games area in Westchester Square, Cops said. No arrest was made in this case.
