A 20-year-old man was stabbed to death in the middle of the day near a school in Brooklyn Tuesday by a suspect who chased him after a scuffle, authorities said.



Police say the man was stabbed multiple times in the abdomen less than a tenth of a mile from the Lyons Community School at Humboldt Street and Graham Avenue in Williamsburg around 12:15 p.m.



It wasn't clear if any students witnessed the stabbing.

No arrests have been made.



An eight-year resident of the neighborhood told NBC 4 New York she was "shocked" to hear of the brazen midday violence in what she said is normally a fairly safe, quiet area with regular police patrol.
