PARK SLOPE – Cops arrested a teenage boy Tuesday in connection with a stabbing in Park Slope Monday, after which a 16-year-old high school student was hospitalized as the result of multiple knife attacks.

Tuesday afternoon, police announced the arrest of a 14-year-old connected with the attack. Armed with information from witnesses, detectives apprehended the young suspect at 3:25 p.m. in his home on Sixth Avenue, a block from where the incident occurred.

Cops said they are still searching for two accomplices, two male white Hispanics, ages 14 and 16.

According to eyewitness reports, on Monday afternoon at approximately 2:15 p.m., the victim was standing or walking in front of 460 Fifth St. when he was approached by a group of other teens. It was not clear what the dispute was about, and there was no evidence of a robbery attempt, but cops did say that the victim and the suspect “were not known to each other.�

When the fight was over, the 16-year-old lay bleeding on the street with multiple stab wounds. EMTs transported him to Lutheran Medical Center, where he was treated for his wounds, the most serious of which was a punctured liver. He is listed in stable condition.

Because of the ages of the victim and the suspect, police did not release their identities. It is unclear whether the suspect in custody will be tried as an adult or as a juvenile, but police did say that he is facing a charge of Assault 1, a major felony, and misdemeanor Weapons Possession.

Neighborhood blogs Tuesday raised questions about the incident, some saying the fight was connected to a nearby high school. Police did not confirm or deny these details.
