A 17-year-old was stabbed to death during a fight with another group outside a lower Manhattan axe-throwing bar in New York on Thursday.

Another person was injured in the incident who was identified as the deceased person's 19-year-old brother.

The fatal stabbing happened around 1:50 a.m. in Chinatown when the victims got into an altercation outside Live Axe, an axe-throwing venue at 96 Lafayette St., police told New York Post.

Sources told the newspaper that an axe was not used in the incident.

The cause of the argument is still not clear.

One of the injured teens was shifted to Bellevue Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The older brother was also taken to Bellevue and is in stable condition, police told the newspaper.

Police have started investigating the matter.

No arrests have been made so far.
