Two teenagers stabbed to death in New York fast food restaurant

Two teenagers were stabbed to death after an argument at a fast-food restaurant in Manhattan, police said.

The victims, ages 16 and 17, were stabbed shortly after 1 p.m. Saturday at the Panda Express at 2852 Broadway, near 11th Street, following an argument with a man in his 20s, police said.

The 16-year-old was stabbed in the lower back and the 17-year-old was stabbed in the abdomen, an NYPS spokesman said. The teens, whose injuries were not life-threatening, were privately transported to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, the NYPD said.

No arrests have been made. Police are looking for a man in his 20s with curly hair who was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black jeans and a blue mask.

The suspect fled “in an unknown direction” after the bloodshed, police said.
