Three people, including two bystanders, were wounded in an early-morning shooting in Times Square on Saturday, New York police said, with a 17-year-old now facing attempted murder and other charges.
The NYPD said the gunfire erupted at about 1:20 a.m. on West 44th Street near Seventh Avenue, after a fight inside the Raising Cane’s restaurant spilled onto the street. Witnesses reported that a group of about 15 teenagers arrived on Citi Bikes before the altercation began.
According to police, the suspect argued with a 19-year-old man before firing three shots. The teenager was struck in the foot, while an 18-year-old woman from Maryland sustained a graze wound to the neck and a 65-year-old man from New Jersey was shot in the leg. Both were bystanders, officers said. All three were taken to hospital in stable condition.
Police officers stationed nearby heard the shots and pursued the suspect, arresting him a block away at West 44th Street and Eighth Avenue. A firearm was recovered from the scene. The teenager, whose name has not been released because of his age, faces charges including attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment.
Authorities said it was unclear if the suspect and victims knew each other prior to the incident. Times Square has been designated a gun-free zone since 2022 under New York state law banning firearms in “sensitive locations,” though local vendors say shootings still occur in the area.
