MANHATTAN: Two boys were stabbed during a fight inside an Upper West Side McDonald’s Tuesday morning, cops said.
A 16-year-old boy was knifed in the back and eye and a 14-year-old boy in the left hand when the melee broke out at the fast-food joint on Broadway near West 71st Street around 8:20 a.m., authorities said.
Both victims were taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center in stable condition, police said.
A 23-year-old man was taken into custody with charges pending, cops said.
The circumstances leading up to the fight were not immediately clear.
“We are both shocked and saddened by this unnecessary violence among a group of young people in our restaurant,” Bruce Colley, the owner of the fast food location, said in a statement.
“The safety of our employees and customers is our top priority, and we are cooperating with the NYPD as the investigation moves forward.”
