A 29-year-old food vendor was shot in the arm near Times Square early Wednesday after getting into a fight with a group of youngsters, law enforcement sources told The Post.
The male victim took a bullet to his right arm when the gunfire erupted at Seventh Avenue and West 47th Street just before 5 a.m., police said.
It wasn’t immediately clear exactly what led to the shooting, but sources said the gunman fired several rounds in the wake of a dispute.
Witnesses alleged on social media that they saw a group chasing down a man just moments before the shooting unfolded.
Footage showed the group apparently trying to retrieve a backpack from a man during the scuffle.
The injured man was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition in the aftermath, cops said.
Meanwhile, police said the probe is still unfolding and they are still trying to track down the shooter.
At least three people were apprehended in a nearby subway station, according to sources.
