8 PEOPLE STABBED IN BROOKLYN!

An argument at a Brooklyn party early Sunday exploded into a vicious knife-fight that put eight young people in the hospital, police said.
Blood was spattered across the sidewalk on Fulton St. near Euclid Ave. in East New York after the sprawling melee, which spilled into a train station.

"A girl came to take her sister out of the party and that's how the fight started," said John Velasquez, 19, a bystander who was injured in the 1:45 a.m. brawl.

"Two girls started arguing and then a dude stepped in and just started waving a knife around. He was really drunk. They just couldn't handle their liquor.

"This guy with a knife just started running up and down the street and that's when the other girl pulled out her knife too.

"That's when it got really bad. There was blood everywhere.

"I tried to stop the guy from going after the girl with a knife. What does a guy have to go after a girl for? That's when he cut me - two times in the hand."

Livery cab driver Jesus Cabrera, 39, said he saw a teenager being chased into the elevated train station.

"He was running for his life up the stairs," Cabrera said. "They dragged his girlfriend on the pavement and beat her up."

Another witness said: "A guy coming off the train said he saw the doors open and saw a man being beaten by a 2x4 and being stabbed by a group of people on the platform."

Police said five people were taken to Brookdale Hospital with injuries that were not life threatening. Three others were taken to Jamaica Hospital with more serious injuries but were expected to live.

No arrests have been made.
