FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA – 21-year-old man was being sought as of Sunday night for the stabbing of a 17-year-old boy in Falls Township’s Levittown section the previous evening.

The alleged attack happened around 5:45 p.m. Saturday. Officers were called to Manor Elementary School on Penn Valley Road for a report of a stabbing.

“Upon their arrival, officers located a 17-year-old male victim on Timothy Lane, which is located in the Thornridge section of Falls Township. The victim had sustained injuries as a result of multiple stab wounds,” Police Chief Nelson Whitney said.

The 17-year-old boy was rushed to St. Mary Medical Center by the Levittown-Fairless Hills Rescue Squad. Nelson said the boy underwent surgery and was listed in serious condition Sunday evening.

An investigation led to police identifying Zachary Santana, of Philadelphia, as being the “primary” suspect, Whitney said.

Court records show an arrest warrant on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, and possession of an instrument of crime was filed Sunday.

Police said Santana, who is known to go by the name Zachary Blanco, should be considered “armed and dangerous.”

Anyone with information on Santana’s whereabouts has been asked to call 9-1-1. Those with details on the stabbing have been asked to contact Detective Dennis O’Connell at 215-949-9100 ext. 416 or D.OConnell@fallstwp.com.
