Shocking video shows teen getting beatdown, stabbed






Disturbing new video shows the moment a black-clad trio descend on a 19-year-old in the East Village — pulling him to the ground and taking turns punching and stabbing him.
The broad-daylight savagery happened Sunday outside 254 East 3rd Street around 5:45 p.m., said police, as they released video in hopes of nabbing two of the attackers.
The harrowing clip shows one of the assailants tossing a metal scooter at the victim, knocking him to the ground and one of the suspects holding the teen as the other repeatedly slugs him in the face.
A third person then jumps into the fray — knifing the victim several times in the back and shoulder before the three then bolt.
One of the attackers was arrested Monday — a 14-year-old boy, whose name was not released because of his age. He was charged with assault, cops said.
