“Upon their arrival, officers located a 17-year-old male victim on Timothy Lane, which is located in the Thornridge section of Falls Township. The victim had sustained injuries as a result of multiple stab wounds,” police Chief Nelson Whitney said.
The 17-year-old boy was rushed to St. Mary Medical Center by the Levittown-Fairless Hills Rescue Squad. Nelson said the boy underwent surgery and was listed in serious condition Sunday evening.
An investigation led to police identifying Zachary Santana, of Philadelphia, as being the “primary” suspect, Whitney said.
