A teen who was stabbed after getting off a school bus in Bay Shore is recovering Saturday and police are investigating a gang connection.
Victor Guzman, who lives on Wisconsin Avenue across from an elementary school, says he was shocked to find police tape blocking his street when he got home Friday. Police say that?s where the 14-year-old boy was stabbed after school. The teen attends Brentwood?s Freshman Center, a school for ninth-graders.
Before the incident, school officials beefed up security amid rumors that MS-13 gang members planned to wreak havoc at the Freshman Center for Friday the 13th. Interim Superintendent Michael Cohen says he rushed to visit the victim in the hospital and says the teen is in pain, but alert.
Police are not saying much about the case, but they are looking into all angles.
