A 9-year-old boy was slashed by a 12-year-old boy armed with a razor in East Harlem,USA, officials said Thursday.
The victim told police he was playing in a courtyard on Madison Ave. near E. 111th St. when the pre-teen, who he knows only as Brandon, attacked about 5 p.m. Wednesday.
“I’m going to cut you,” the older boy said as he backed his victim into a fence, according to police.
The pint-sized perp lashed out against the child, cutting him in the left palm before running off.
The wounded child ran home to his mother, who took him to Mount Sinai Hospital. He needed several stitches to close the gash, cops said.
Police have not been able to identify or locate the slasher.
