One teen was stabbed and another teen shot inside a Bronx park on Monday, cops said.
The stabbing victim, a 17-year-old boy, was wounded in the lower back, while the other teen, a 19-year-old man, was shot in the torso inside Virginia Park around 4:18 p.m., according to law enforcement.
A sidewalk fruit vendor was working nearby when the violence erupted.
“There were some guys fighting and then there was one shot. He was on the floor lying on his back. He was hit in the chest,” said 56-year-old Rafail Reinoso. “Everybody started running. The police came and scooped him up.”
“It’s a real problem over here,” he added. “These streets are crazy.”
Cops rushed the stabbing victim in an NYPD vehicle to Jacobi Medical Center, while medics ferried the gunshot victim to the same medical center. Both teens are expected to survive.
Cops are hunting two other teens spotted fleeing the Parkchester greenspace located off Webster Ave and the Cross Bronx Expressway. They are both described as wearing Nike Tech athleticwear.
There were no arrests.
