High school students in Washington Heights and Elmhurst were stabbed in unrelated incidents this morning, according to authorities. A 15-year-old is expected to survive after getting stabbed with a steak knife 16 times in his back and arm in his Upper Manhattan school, while a Queens 17-year-old was cut inside Newtown High School in a separate violent confrontation. According to 1010WINS , cops arrested a 14-year-old suspect in the steak knife attack, which they say might be “retaliation for a bullying incident” in the School for Media and Communications at George Washington High School. The victim in the Queens stabbing is “expected to recover,” and police have charged a 16-year-old student with second-degree assault and tampering, MyFoxNY reports. The incidents come after a bloody week for New York City students in which police arrested two Independence High School kids believed to responsible for slashing a 20-year-old woman’s hand and stabbing an 18-year-old man in the face and back in the Columbus Circle subway station. A 15-year-old was seriously wounded in another crime involving a knife when gang members mistook him for a Crip and sliced him from his nose to his neck on Eighth Avenue.
