Boy, 16, Faces Attempted Murder, Other Charges In Stabbing Outside Manhattan School

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A teenage boy is facing attempted murder and other charges after four students were slashed and stabbed during a fight near a school on Manhattan's West Side.

Police said a pair of 16-year-old students who had been suspended from school for fighting last week got into another fight Wednesday — their first day back to school.

Police said Juan Gomez, 16, and the other teen got into a dispute near P.S. 35 on Eighth Avenue between 52nd and 53rd streets just as school was getting out around 1:20 p.m.

Investigators said Gomez slashed a 15-year-old and stabbed three other students.

None of their injuries are life-threatening.

Gomez is also charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
