Three teens were stabbed, and three more were arrested after a fight outside Abraham Lincoln High School near Coney Island on Tuesday, police said.
The three injured, ranging from 16 to 18 years old, were stabbed in the stomach, back-left shoulder, and buttocks, respectively, after the fight broke out at around 2 p.m. near the intersection of Ocean Parkway and Neptune Avenue, according to police.
The victims were transported to NYU Lutheran Medical Center in stable condition.
The three who were arrested are all 17 years old, police said. Charges were pending as of Wednesday morning.
It wasn’t clear what the teens were fighting about, but they knew one another from the neighborhood, cops said.
The Abraham Lincoln High School, as well as two other schools, were put on lockdown as a precaution, the Department of Education said.
“Out of an abundance of caution, Lincoln High School, William E. Grady High School and I.S. 303 in Brooklyn were temporarily placed on a shelter-in this afternoon due to the NYPD’s response and investigation into a serious off-site incident that took place in the area,” a DOE spokeswoman said.
