Police say a 13-year-old boy was slashed in the face after an argument in Coney Island.

They say it happened before 8:15 a.m. near Neptune Avenue and West 5th Street.

Ibrahim Sehovic says he saw the aftermath.

"My first thought was that they were in a fist fight scuffle. Then I saw a kid's face he was leaking he was bleeding all over," said Sehovic.

There are schools about a block away from where the incident happened, but it's unclear if the boy is a student there.

He was taken to Coney Island Hospital and police say he is in stable condition.
