New York City police seek gunman in subway shooting that injured one

New York City police are searching for a gunman who shot a man on a subway in the Chinatown neighborhood.

The victim, 34, was shot early Saturday morning shortly after 1am while riding the train on the N line, reported the New York Times.

The man was shot in the torso after a dispute on the train, said police. The victim was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Police have not found the suspect or a woman who was with him during the shooting.

Passengers who reported hearing two gunshots described trying to find safety while still on the subway.

The two credited the decline to a sharp increase in police presence throughout the subway system. But officials have not provided evidence that supports the correlation.

The increased police presence has also cost the city $2om each month in police overtime, reported Bloomberg News.

This shooting comes after two high-profile New York subway shootings last year.

In April, 20 people sustained injuries, including 10 with gunshot wounds, after a gunman opened fire on a subway car. Just over a month later, a man was fatally shot in a random attack while riding the train.
