“I was coming back form class and i heard the kid’s friend screaming,” a Pace University student who did not want to be identified told the Daily News. “The kid was holding his neck and bleeding heavily from his mouth. I never saw so much blood in my life. This was like a horror movie.”

The student added that the wounded teen “collapsed” and “tried to get up, then he collapsed again. It’s something I never expected to see in real life.”

Another witness who did not want to be identified said he saw medics “doing chest compressions on the guy in the ambulance.”

“They walked the other (teen) right by me. The two of them … were covered in blood.
