Things on Williamsburg’s Southside continue to be interesting. Over the weekend, “a machete-wielding mob marching down a gritty Brooklyn street stabbed a pair of teenagers Saturday.” We’ll allow the Daily News to do the honors:

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. “They tried to defend themselves – they were getting killed!” said the witness.

One of the two unidentified victims was stabbed in the arm and the other was slashed in the back, witnesses said. They were taken to Woodhull Hospital and are expected to survive, police said. It was unclear whether the attack was linked to a shooting at the nearby Williamsburg Bridge Plaza bus terminal 90 minutes earlier. In that incident, an unidentified man was shot once in the stomach after two large groups clashed near the intersection of Roebling and S. Ninth Sts., witnesses said.

Meanwhile, the Post reports that residents are concerned about a “crime spree” and that felonious assaults were up 21 percent as of July 6, compared to the same time period in 2007. Last weekend, we came upon the aftermath of a shooting in roughly the same area.
