A 14-year-old boy was stabbed in broad daylight Thursday as a fight with another teen spilled out of a Brooklyn deli — just hours before another boy knifed a would-be robber in Upper Manhattan, cops and sources said.
The 14-year-old was involved in a scuffle that began around 2 p.m. inside Taha Deli and Grill on Flatlands Avenue near East 81st Street in Canarsie, sources said.
A witness told News 12 that the two boys were messing around in the deli, and the older teen was armed with a knife.
The victim appeared to challenge the 15-year-old boy, daring him, “You won’t do anything.”
The armed teen snapped back, “You don’t think I will?” and stabbed him in the leg, the network reported.
The boy was taken to Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
