MANHATTAN — Two men hurt in a shooting on a busy Harlem street Monday afternoon are in stable condition, police said Tuesday.
The victims, whom police did not identify, were hit when a gunman sprayed the east side of Lenox Avenue near 129th Street with bullets at around 2 p.m.
Witnesses called it a drive-by.
“A car drove by with the back passenger window down, and they went bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam,” said one man who lives nearby but declined to give his name.
One of the victims, a 41-year-old man, was shot in the face. Witnesses said he was sitting in a parked car with his wife, waiting for their wash at a nearby Laundromat, when he was hit. The woman apparently was not injured, but ended up covered in blood.
“People ran up and grabbed the guy in the car, and there was blood on the pavement,” said Dave Williams, 36.
A second man, 36 years old, was grazed by one of the bullets, police said.
Detectives swarmed the scene and found several shell casings on Lenox Avenue.
There have been no arrests, police said.
