When Teens Hang Outside Bars After Midnight

Two boys, one 15 and 17, ended up stabbed early Wednesday morning after hanging around outside a Newhallville bar.

The boys walked into the Hospital of St. Raphael around 12:45 a.m. with non life-threatening stab wounds. One was stabbed in the back, the other in the right forearm.

As usual in these cases, hospital personnel called the cops, who came to investigate.

According to police spokeswoman Bonnie Winchester, the older boy refused to speak with officers. The younger one told the officers the incident had occurred by Lilac Street and Shelton Avenue in Newhallville; he offered no other details.

Police investigated and found a witness who said the incident actually occurred outside the Taurus Cafe on Winchester Avenue. The boys were standing on the sidewalk. The 17 year-old got into an argument with another male, who produced a knife and stabbed him. The 15 year-old jumped in to help, and was stabbed himself.
