A 15-year-old boy was blasted in an apparent drive-by shooting in upper Manhattan late Friday afternoon, police said.
The teen was struck in the buttocks around 4:30 p.m. near the intersection of W. 155th St. and Frederick Douglass Blvd. in Harlem, cops said.
EMS transported the youth to Metropolitan Hospital in stable condition, according to police.
The gunshot appeared to have been fired from a car last seen traveling toward Broadhurst Ave., a police source said. Cops were not immediately able to confirm the type of car, but a police source said it appeared to be a silver Infinity.
The investigation is ongoing.
The incident is the third shooting to happen within a roughly three-hour span on Friday afternoon in New York City. Earlier, a man was shot in the head outside a fruit stand in the Bronx around 1:48 p.m. About 40 minutes later, another man was shot in the leg outside the Smith-Ninth Sts. subway station in Brooklyn. The shootings do not appear to be related.
Police ask anyone with information to call the Crime Stoppers Hotline at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls are confidential.
