Police from the 114th Precinct in Astoria responded to a 911 call of an assault in progress inside the school on Broadway and 21st Street just before 12:40 p.m. after the victim was involved in a physical altercation with another 16-year-old and a 15-year-old when he was stabbed in the head with an unknown object, police said.
