A disturbing day of violence and weapons rocked New York City schools Monday after a teenager was stabbed in front of his mother while walking to class — and two other students were caught carrying guns at their schools, police said.
The first attack unfolded around 9:30 a.m. in The Bronx, where a 17-year-old boy was walking with his mother toward the William H. Taft High School Educational Campus in Mount Eden.
Police said two suspects suddenly confronted the teen near East 172nd Street and Sheridan Avenue.
One attacker punched him while the other stabbed him in the buttocks, authorities said.
The teenager had reportedly been heading to the school to register for classes. Instead, he was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
The suspects fled and remained at large.
Less than an hour later, police were dealing with another alarming incident — this time at Curtis High School on Staten Island.
Authorities said 18-year-old Samuel Owusu was involved in a fight with another student at the school on Hamilton Avenue in St. George around 10:20 a.m.
School safety officers broke up the confrontation, and police later discovered a loaded handgun inside Owusu’s backpack, according to authorities.
The gun had ammunition in its magazine, though police said Owusu never pulled the weapon during the fight.
He was arrested and hit with several gun possession charges, along with a charge of unlawful possession of cannabis.
The troubling incidents did not stop there.
Later that afternoon, a 17-year-old student was arrested after a security scanner allegedly detected another gun inside a backpack at the Queens School for Career Development in South Jamaica.
Police said the teenager was passing through the scanner at the school on Linden Boulevard near 143rd Street when the weapon was discovered.
It was not immediately clear whether that gun was loaded.
The student was taken into custody, though charges had not yet been filed as of Monday evening.
The three incidents, unfolding within hours of each other across three boroughs, added to concerns over violence and weapons making their way dangerously close to New York City classrooms.
