Witnesses reported that the suspect fled on foot toward Westchester Avenue. Police canvassed the area, but the suspect was not immediately located. Police say, however, that they believe the victim and the suspect knew each other prior to the stabbing.

"There is no known threat to the community at large, but out of an abundance of caution, Eastview School was placed on a temporary lockdown," police said in a statement. "That lockdown has since been lifted. Detectives from our Criminal Investigations Division are actively investigating the incident and working to locate the suspect, who is known to the department."

Anyone with information about this morning's violence is being urged to contact the White Plains Police Department at 914-422-6111.
