NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities say a man who was reportedly visiting New York City with his family was shot and wounded in Times Square by a stray bullet during gunfire from a possible dispute between vendors.
News outlets report that the 21-year-old victim was shot in the back about 5:15 p.m. Sunday.
He was taken to a hospital for treatment of what were described as non-life-threatening injuries.
No one else was hurt in the shooting. No arrests were immediately reported.
Sunday's shooting took place near the site of a May 8 shooting that wounded two women and a 4-year-old girl.
A man was later arrested following that shooting.
