NEW YORK -- Police say a teenager is in critical condition after a stabbing in the Bronx.

It happened just after 6 p.m. Saturday at Pelham Parkway South and White Plains Road in the Pelham Parkway section.

Police say two suspects stabbed a 14-year-old boy in the neck several times.

The victim was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.

Community members say more needs to be done to help kids in the borough.

"It's sad. Unfortunately, this is what's happening currently in the Bronx and in Pelham Parkway, but we continue to try to bring the best light of the Bronx and the Pelham Parkway community, but unfortunately, this is becoming the norm," said Roxanne Delgato, founder of Friends of Pelham Parkway.

It is unclear what led up to the stabbing. The investigation is ongoing.
