The Daily News reports that an honor student was slashed when he was leaving the Henry Street School For International Studies for a field trip yesterday: "Pascasio Rodriguez, 15, was sliced from his left cheek to his neck when ambushed by at least two thugs," and his mother said, "They confused him for the wrong guy He's never been in trouble before. He's a good kid." Rodriguez, other students and faculty were headed to the subway for a taping of BET's 106th and Park, a trip for students with at least "a 90 grade point average." Rodriguez is in stable condition at Bellevue, and his brother said, "I feel like he was surrounded by friends and no one did anything. The teachers didn't help. No one did."
