NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death on a Manhattan 1 train platform Saturday afternoon, according to police.
The boy was stabbed in the stomach during a fight with another teenager at the 137th Street–City College station in Hamilton Heights around 3 p.m., authorities said.
Emergency responders rushed the boy to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The attacker, who officials believe knew his victim, fled the station. Police have not yet made any arrests.
Authorities believe the boys knew each other, and that the stabbing was an escalation of an ongoing conflict between them.
Mayor Eric Adams said he'd like to see conflict resolution programs that give young people the skills to de-escalate conflict.
"A simple dispute elevates to a stabbing, an assault," Adams told 1010 WINS. "We must number one have alternative programs that we are putting in place for children, number two we need to deal with some of the mental health issues that we are facing and thirdly we have to really deal with the conflict resolution to see that violence is not the way."
