Police say the young victim was with some friends when the stabbing took place at about 7:45 p.m. It appears the teen likely knew his attacker, but police say those who witnessed the attack wouldn't cooperate with their investigation.

Second Avenue was partially closed for about two hours, as detectives worked to piece together what happened.
