RICHMOND HILL — A man walking down Jamaica Avenue in broad daylight Wednesday was stabbed to death by a knife-wielding gang, cops said.

A group of four or five men attacked the victim, whose identity was not immediately released, near 126-19 Jamaica Ave. about 3:30 p.m., according to the NYPD. The victim, who was in his 30s, was stabbed in the back, police said.

He was taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, police said.

The group also attacked a 17-year-old man, hitting him in the shoulder with a rock, cops said. That man refused medical treatment at the scene, cops said. It was not clear if the two victims knew each other.

Police said no arrests have been made.
