Two teens attacked by gang with machetes in Brooklyn BY TANANGACHI MFUNI, JESS WISLOSKI and JONATHAN LEMIRE DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS Sunday, July 13th 2008, 1:02 AM
A machete-wielding mob marching down a gritty Brooklyn street stabbed a pair of teenagers Saturday during a bloody night in the city that left two other men dead, police said.
About 15 suspected gang members, wearing T-shirts over their faces, stormed down S. Third St. in Williamsburg around 2 a.m. brandishing 18-inch blades and yelling for their intended target to show himself, witnesses said.
"People were screaming; they were saying, 'We want Melvin!'" said one witness too afraid to give his name.
But when they reached Melvin's home, the gang couldn't find him. So the rabid crew - who said they belonged to the Trinitarios gang - turned on two of Melvin's friends.
