Innocent Woman Struck by Gunfire Boarding City Bus Near Central Park on UWS in NYC

May 08, 2025 MANHATTAN, New York – A woman boarding a downtown M10 city bus was struck by gunfire near Central Park West and 108th Street on Thursday evening, cops said

Police in the 24 precinct responded to multiple 911 calls for a woman grazed by a stray bullet as she was getting on an MTA city bus on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. 

The incident occurred following an alleged verbal argument that turned violent after a bus rider opened fire on another commuter, missing the intended victim and striking a bystander, police said. 

The innocent 55-year-old female victim was not the intended target when she was struck in the hip by one of at least two rounds fired by a suspected shooter.

NYPD detectives could be seen talking with the distraught bus driver as evidence markers surrounded the city vehicle.

The victim was transported by EMS to Mt. Sinai – Morningside Hospital with non life threatening injuries and was last listed in stable condition. 

No arrests at this time. Police are looking for 19-year-old male suspected gunman that fled north on Central Park West following the shooting.
