Violence erupted in Brooklyn Friday night with a man stabbed and wounded and a second victim, a teenager, shot an hour later roughly a mile away, cops said Saturday.
Responding officers found the first victim, a 41-year-old, with a slash wound on the left side of his face and a stab wound to his left shoulder around 10 p.m. on Dekalb Ave. near Kent Ave. in Clinton Hill.
Medics rushed the man to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital where he was in stable condition.
About an hour later, one mile away in Bedford-Stuyvesant, an 18-year-old youth was shot once each in his left thigh and left shoulder on Willoughby Ave. near Throop Ave.
