A 17-year-old boy was killed and his 19-year-old brother was injured when they were knifed during a fight with another group outside a lower Manhattan axe throwing bar early Thanksgiving morning, police and law enforcement sources said.
The fatal stabbing happened around 1:50 a.m. in Chinatown when the victims got into an altercation outside Live Axe, an axe throwing venue at 96 Lafayette St., police said.
An axe was not used in the incident, sources said.
It’s unclear what sparked the argument.
The two teenagers were both stabbed in the torso, the NYPD said.
The 17-year-old was taken to Bellevue Hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was not immediately identified.
The older brother was also taken to Bellevue and is in stable condition, police said.
Part of the block was taped off by investigators, according to ABC 7 footage.
The investigation is ongoing and no arrests were immediately made on Thursday.
