    A pair of 15-year-old boys were stabbed outside a Bronx McDonald’s Wednesday afternoon — the latest teens caught up in a troubling spate of youth violence in the Big Apple.

    One of the young victims was knifed in the chest, while the other was slashed on the hand in front of the fast food restaurant at 1600 Boston Road in Charlotte Gardens just before 4 p.m., according to police.

    The youths were rushed by EMS to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi with non-life threatening injuries, cops said.

    Police said it’s unclear what led to the bloodshed, and the attacker was in the wind Wednesday night.

    The stabbing comes as teen violence has plagued the city in recent days.

    On Tuesday, 16-year-old avid hoopster Mahki Brown was shot dead by a bike-riding gunman in Soho.

    Brown, of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, was near the swanky Dominick Hotel on Spring Street when bullets flew, striking him in the head and leg, authorities said.

    His devastated mom, Sean, recalled him as “always trying to help somebody.”

    “He helps everybody,” she sobbed, adding he just tattooed her name on his arm.

    It wasn’t clear if Brown was the intended target, but sources said the shooting may have unfolded following a spat between two groups of girls earlier in the day.

    Hours after Brown’s slaying, a 17-year-old boy was shot in the back outside NYCHA’s Amsterdam Houses on the Upper West Side, police said.

    The teen was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center in stable condition, cops said.

    The suspected gunman has yet to be caught.

    And three other teenage boys, all 15 years old, were stabbed in two separate attacks on Tuesday.

    One of them was slashed in the back of the head during an argument on an MTA bus in the Bronx.

    The other two teens were injured in a stabbing at the intersection of South 2nd Street and Keap Street in Brooklyn.
