A teen was stabbed in the leg during a dispute in Queens on Thursday afternoon amid a burst of youth violence inside city parks as summer-like weather rolled in.
The 13-year-old boy was discovered badly bleeding from his right leg after police responded to 89th Avenue and 153rd Street near Rufus King Park in Jamaica just after 4 p.m., according to the NYPD.
Investigators believe a dispute sparked the stabbing, cops added
The unidentified youngster was taken to Cohen’s Children’s Hospital in stable condition, police said.
Photos captured police collecting evidence in a cordoned-off portion of the sidewalk and picking up one large knife.
Other objects, such as what appeared to be a broken wooden log and a metal rod, were marked as evidence, the images showed.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing, authorities said.
The incident came just hours before 15-year-old Jaden Pierre was gunned down near Nautilus Playground in Roy Wilkins Park in St. Albans.
Another 15-year-old boy was killed and two others were critically wounded in a shooting inside a picturesque Long Island park Wednesday night after a cook-out involving alleged gangbangers descended into voilence.
