A 15-year-old boy was punched repeatedly in the face during a heated confrontation Monday afternoon with another student outside their high school in Queens, authorities and sources said.
According to law enforcement sources, the boy was cut three times in the face when the feud broke out about 2:45 p.m. just blocks from Springfield Gardens High School on Springfield Boulevard near 143rd Road.
The two teens were involved in an ongoing dispute, sources said.
The injured boy was taken to Cohen Children’s Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.
No arrests have been made in the broad daylight shooting.
The violence occurred about a week after another 15-year-old boy was shot in the leg by an apparent fellow teen in front of South Shore High School on Flatlands Avenue in Canarsie around the same time of day, according to authorities and sources.
He was taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition, authorities said.
Earlier this month, a 17-year-old boy was shot in the leg outside Ralph R. McKee Career and Technical Education High School in St. George, police said.
He was rushed to Richmond University Medical Center, where he was in stable condition, police said.
