A young man was stabbed to death by a violent crew inside a Queens waterfront park late Thursday, cops and sources said.
The still-unidentified victim – believed to be between 18 and 25 – was knifed in the back during a clash with more than 10 people inside Little Bay Park in Whitestone around 8:30 p.m., according to police and law enforcement sources.
He was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was initially listed in critical condition, and soon succumbed to his injuries, police said.
The perps were on scooters or mopeds and none had been caught by Friday, the sources said.
Council Member Vickie Paladino, who represents the area, condemned the violence.
“This is EXTREMELY rare for Whitestone and does not bode well for what we can expect this summer,” Paladino posted on Facebook.
The violence came less than two months after a 15-year-old boy was beaten and fatally shot by a ruthless mob inside another Queens park, cops said.
Jaden Pierre was killed April 16 inside Roy Wilkins Park in St. Albans – marking a bloody end to a social media-hyped water gun fight that the young victim had organized, according to police.
Five teens have been arrested in that case, authorities said.
