Here we go again! Boy, 17, is stabbed after violent migrant brawl erupts in Times Square... weeks after another group was filmed attacking NYPD officers

A 17-year-old migrant was stabbed during a brawl in Times Square, just weeks after a group of asylum seekers were filmed attacking police officers on the same block.  

The male victim, thought to be from Nicaragua, was chased by a group of over a dozen people on Thursday evening before they caught him and stabbed him in the back, according to The New York Post. 

The stabbing happened in front of 251 W. 42nd Street around 5.30pm and the victim was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in a stable condition. Police recovered a large blood-stained knife at the scene.

Hours later another fight, thought to be unrelated, erupted and a second man was taken to hospital. The attacks happened on the same blocks where a group of migrants was filmed attacking police officers on January 27. 

Times Square worker Bell Mohamed witnessed the latest attack and told The Post: 'I saw someone running…and there was blood coming from his back, coming from everywhere.'

The 28-year-old victim of a second fight later on Thursday was loaded into the ambulance with minor injuries

He said the area is 'dangerous' and added: 'Some people are just crazy.' 

Police told The Post that a 22-year-old man and six others, including three migrant teens, had been taken into custody. 

Officers are still looking for over a dozen more people in relation to the stabbing. 

Photos of the aftermath of the brawl show the major tourist attraction cordoned off, with groups of police standing by and directing onlookers away. 

In one of the pictures a long knife is visible laid out on top of a concrete block while an officer with gloves examines it. 

Next to the knife is what seems to be a wooden pole snapped in half.  

Two hours after the stabbing another fight broke out just a block away in front of the Hard Rock Cafe.

A 28-year-old man was assaulted by three people who were all arrested at the scene.

Photos showed him sitting on the floor looking dazed before officers helped him to his feet. 

He was loaded into an ambulance and taken to hospital with cuts to his head and blood on his face. 

In other photos of the two fights, officers could be seen loading several young men with their hands secured into police vans, while the young man was loaded into an ambulance. 

The latest fights comes less than a month after a group of six migrants were arrested and charged with Robbery and Felony Assault following a vicious attack on NYPD officers in Times Square on January 27.

The attack occurred around 8.30 pm when officers attempted to disperse a disorderly group in front of 220 West 42 Street. 

Police sources confirmed the men's involved in the Jan 27 attack's migrant status to the New York Post

The gang are said to have struck after being asked to keep moving without cops. The suspected attackers were later arrested...and subsequently freed without bail

A fight broke out between a suspect in a yellow sweatshirt and the police officers.

According to the NYPD, the migrants then started to attack the officers, kicking them in the head and body while the two officers tried to pin down one of the other men, tearing off his sweatshirt.

The migrants then ran away, making their getaway east on 42nd Street toward 7th Avenue.

At around 10:44pm that night, four of them -Gomez, Arocha, Wilson and Reveron, were arrested.

They were all charged with Assault on a Police Officer, Gang Assault, Obstructing Governmental Administration and Disorderly Conduct but were released without monetary bail.
