A 17-year-old girl was stabbed during a fight with an older woman on board an MTA bus in Brooklyn, cops and police sources said.

The teen was knifed in the back around 12:30 a.m. when a feud with a woman in her 40s turned violent as the B35 bus headed east on Church Avenue, near Nostrand Avenue in Flatbush, according to authorities and sources.

She was taken to the Kings County Hospital Center, where she was listed in stable condition.

The suspect, described as having black hair, wearing a pink shirt and black pants, fled from the bus, cops said. 

The reason for the violent clash – and whether the teen and the older woman know each other prior to the incident — remains unclear.

No arrests had been made by Monday afternoon.
