Boy slashes fellow 13-year-old during fight outside NYC school: cops

A boy was slashed by a classmate during a heated Friday morning clash between the two 13-year-olds outside their Brooklyn school, cops said. 

The teens started arguing on a bus before the feud turned violent — with one slashing the other in the face outside Explore Charter School on Parkside Avenue near Nostrand Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, authorities and law enforcement sources said. 

The victim was taken to the Kings County Hospital Center with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The young suspect — whose name wasn’t released because he is a minor — was arrested and charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon, cops said. 

A knife was recovered at the scene, sources said.

The violence comes after at least two other Big Apple teens were hurt in school-related assaults this week.
