An 18-year-old male has been arrested for stabbing another teen in Suffolk County late Wednesday night.

Richard Torres, of Middle Island, was involved in an altercation with the 19-year-old victim prior to the attack, according to police.

The incident happened in a parking lot at 949 Middle Country Road in Selden around 11 p.m.

Suffolk police tell News 12 a friend drove the victim the hospital, where he is in serious but stable condition.

Torres fled the scene in a 2015 Nissan sedan, but was located by officers a short time later in Coram.

He will be charged with assault when he faces a judge on Thursday.

Detectives are asking anyone with information about the stabbing to call the Sixth Squad at 631-854-8652.
