The New York crime wave is far from abating as two MTA buses, both in service with riders aboard during rush hour, were struck by bullets during a shooting in Harlem.
One bus was struck in the back grill, while riders of the other saw a bullet fly through a side window. They weren’t the targets of the gunfire, which was believed to come from two young men firing at a man on the other side of West 125th Street. No one was hurt.
“There were about five shots and I saw one guy running into that building in the Grant Houses,” said a nearby resident. “The other one ran east down 125th Street.”
"It's a miracle no one got hit," read a statement from Transit Workers Union Local 100, noting that one of the buses was packed. One of the drivers was transported to an area hospital for an evaluation, the union said. “He wasn't injured, just really shaken up” from the incident. The police have not made any arrests in the case.
