Teenager Stabbed Near Prospect Park Zoo On Monday, Cops Say

An 18-year-old was stabbed in the stomach while hanging out with friends in Prospect Park near Flatbush Avenue on Monday night, police said.

The teen and five friends were hanging out after-hours near the Prospect Park Zoo at 9:45pm on Monday, February 20. Two strangers walked by and the two groups began to argue.

The confrontation turned physical and one of the strangers stabbed the 18-year-old in the abdomen, police said.

The victim was rushed to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in serious but stable condition, said cops.

The two men fled on foot, and despite an ongoing search on the ground and via helicopter, the suspects haven’t been identified as of Wednesday morning.
