Police in the 52nd Precinct are on the lookout for a suspect of a crew wanted for a daylight stabbing of a teen on Wednesday near the #4 subway station in Norwood.
Police say the stabbing is likely gang-related since the victim, known to have affiliation with a local crew near Knox Place, had stepped off the subway at the Mosholu Parkway stop when he was hit by a cane and later stabbed. The suspect fled with two other teens who were later arrested, according to police.
The victim, said to be 15 years old, was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center, where his condition was listed as unknown.
The stabbing prompted a heavy police response in a neighborhood falling with the Jerome-Gun Hill Business Improvement District, a commercial strip that’s home to some 200 stores.
Tensions among neighborhood crews, whose members share the common link of living in the same community, have risen over the last few weeks. Neighborhoods have recently told the Norwood News the problem has become increasingly hairy with random brawls often breaking the peace.

“Tensions among neighborhood crews”
They’re called GANGS and this is what happens when society accepts single mothers, absent fathers, teenage parents and a cycle of welfare.
This is a result when you allow low income ghetto people to move into the neighborhood. Apparently there is a beef between 2 local gangs. It’s a tit for tat situation with these stupid gangs. One of the gangs hangs out on Gates Place. The police need to do their job fast and lock up all these thugs up before the beef escalates further. The area has the potential to be so nice if we can somehow cleanse the area of all these ghetto a$$ people.
