HE ‘ADMITS STABBING 2 PEOPLE’

- Ben Chapman and Chelsia Rose Marcius

THIS WAS not the first bullying brutality at the Bronx Wildlife school building.

Investigat­ors are studying a video (below) from May in which a student punches another in a school bathroom, according to Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña.

“I have instructed my team to conduct a thorough investigat­ion on all issues, and this is underway,” Fariña said Thursday.

The 39-second cell phone clip was apparently shot at the building shared by Public School 67 and the high school involves two sixth-graders, with one cowering in a corner before taking a punch to the head from a classmate.

“That could’ve been my child,” said mom Erika Estrella, 23, whose son is a PS 67 second-grader.

“My child gets bullied all the time in here.”
