Police have arrested the two teens accused of stabbing a young man on the Upper West Side Thursday and leaving him to bleed to death outside a local pizzeria.

Jashawn Gorham, 18, and Brighton Montgomery, 17, allegedly knifed Tony McClain, 20, about 1:30 p.m. in front of Cheesy Pizza on Broadway and W. 100th St.

McClain tried to get into the pizza joint, but then collapsed. He died at St. Luke’s Hospital. Cops found a knife at the scene. Officers arrested both suspects later near the corner of Amsterdam Ave. and W. 96th St. They are charged with murder, assault and illegal weapons possession.

Investigat­ors believe the killing is gang-related, cop sources said.
