The police arrested a 16-year-old boy Friday wanted for attempting to stab a fellow teenager in front of school building in Forest Hills early last week.

The 16-year-old was charged with attempted assault for allegedly plunging a knife into the chest of a teenage boy last Tuesday at around 3:50 p.m. while the victim was waiting at a bus stop in front of 91-30 Metropolitan Ave., home to three different schools.

The knife, however, broke when it made contact with the 16-year-old victim’s shirt and did not puncture the skin. The victim, who told police that the incident was unprovoked, refused medical attention at the time of the incident.

The police did not provide details as to whether the teen who was arrested attended a nearby school.
