Javier Garcia, left and Camron Torres.
Around 9:30 p.m. March 30, Javier Garcia, 16, and his friend, 14-year-old Camron Torres, were on their way to pick up pizza near Central Avenue in the city of Dunkirk when they ran into another 16-year-old.
In an unplanned fight that ensued, Garcia was reportedly stabbed a total of three times as well as slashed across his chest by a knife he didn’t know the other youth was carrying.
With quick-thinking reflexes, Torres stayed by his friend afterward and took him to the nearest safe place he could find the Dunkirk Police Department. By this point, Garcia had almost lost a liter of blood.
