Students outside the school react after fight broke out.

A student was stabbed to death during an after-school rumble in the Flatiron District yesterday that sent four other teenage boys to the hospital, police said.
Sharif Lesane, 15, of Brooklyn died hours after getting knifed in the stomach when a brawl erupted outside the School for the Physical City shortly after classes ended at 3 p.m., witnesses and authorities said.
Three other teens were stabbed during the bloody melee that broke out near the corner of E. 25th St. and Park Ave. South, and a fifth suffered a superficial wound.
Authorities said some teens from the small, alternative public school had been taunting a new student, whose friends showed up to fight back yesterday.
But it was unknown last night whether the stabbing victims were the bullies or youths who simply got caught up in the brawl.
Sharif was rushed to Bellevue Hospital but couldn't be saved. A 16-year-old with a stomach wound was in stable condition there, as were a 17-year-old who was stabbed in the back and a 19-year-old knifed in the chest and torso, police said.
Another 16-year-old suffered only minor injuries.
All of the victims were students at the school except the 19-year-old, police said.
No arrests were made as of last night.
Cops recovered a box cutter at the scene that police believe was used in the fight.
The violence shocked several New Yorkers on the upscale block.
"This is a professional area," said Rafael Martinez, 32, an employee at a nearby Staples store. "We don't usually worry about stabbings."
im thinking about transferring because as of late in my school there have been increased violences and stuffs. when i went there 7 years ago for 6th grade, it was a very good school. to get in you had to be interviewed, you had to go for a buddy day, you had to be explicitly chosen to get in, and then it became part of the regular schools and anyone started going, and then it became a second opportunity school where a bunch of kids who got expelled from other schools got sent there.
from what im hearing, the kid that died was a good guy, i didnt really know him that well. one of the other kids that got stabbed i know a little, he was kind of a jerk and i could see why someone would have stabbed him. im hearing that it could have been gang related, or it could have been that it was because someone was bullied so he got a bunch of his friends to come by and stab people. im thinking of maybe transferring even though its my last year.

It's a shame that shit like this has to happen.
I thought all urban schools in the USA had metal detectors.

I was about to say the same as PaK, the school will probably be extremely secure now. The shock of this also tends to get other 'wanna-be badasses' to reconsider their actions. A lot of kids think their badasses until they get the reality check that they could die.
Stick with your school and be careful/safe. You don't have much time to left before your done anyways.

I believe box cutters can be made with plastics these days.
The truth is that no place is totally safe, yet your actions can keep you much more secure.
there were some 30 odd cops there today though, and i leave school 45 minutes before everyone else and they were rude and were like "who are you, do you recognize me? do you recognize any of the security here? no? then we dont know you, go get proof" so i had to go back to the office and get a copy of my schedule and its not that its just the rudeness of it all.
and i know changing schools this late would be a bit troublesome, but its not the gang thing i found out.
the kid that died was a bystander, someone sliced him open with a knife and aparently his intestines were falling out and the security guard was holding them in, and some other people just standing around or going home got punched with brass knuckles and broke ribs and stuff. even if i dont get in trouble or talk shit or stick by and watch fights i could still get in on the "getting punched in the ribs while going home" game.
