FLATBUSH — A 14-year-old boy was walking through Flatbush on his way to a friend's house when two men stabbed him in the leg and arm Sunday night, police said.

The boy, whose name was not immediately released, was walking past 303 Argyle Road, near Cortelyou Road, about 10 p.m. when the duo stabbed him twice in the right leg and once in the right arm, an NYPD spokesman said.

He was treated at Kings County Hospital, where he's listed in stable condition, police said.

The two suspects, one of whom wore a gray sweater with black pants, fled and hadn't been arrested as of Monday morning, police said.

It wasn't immediately clear what sparked the stabbing, but an NYPD spokesman said he wasn't aware of any prior dispute between the boy and the suspects.
