A 17-year-old girl was fatally stabbed in the neck outside a Queens subway station — the second teen slain in the city in less than 48 hours, police said Thursday.
The victim was knifed outside the 46th St. subway stop at Queens Blvd. and 48th St. in Sunnyside about 9:35 p.m. Wednesday, cops said.
Medics rushed the victim to Elmhurst Hospital but she could not be saved. Her name was not immediately released.
The killer dropped the murder weapon at the scene and ran off. A person of interest was later taken into custody at the Flushing-Main St. station and is being questioned.
It wasn’t clear what sparked the fatal encounter.
Last week, a 17-year-old girl was stabbed to death in the courtyard of a Bronx apartment building.
Emery Mizell was fatally knifed in the chest on Boynton Ave. near Watson Ave. in Soundview about 2:15 p.m. May 2. A 15-year-old girl taken into custody at the scene was charged with murder.
And on Tuesday afternoon, 16-year-old Mahki Brown was shot to death after intervening in an argument between two groups of girls in the courtyard of the luxury Dominick Hotel on Spring St. near Varick St. in Soho. The gunman and an accomplice took off on one Citi Bike and are still on the loose.
