A 44-year-old woman was struck by an apparent stray bullet when two Citi Bike-riding teens opened fire in The Bronx last week, cops and sources said — as the NYPD released footage of the suspected teen criminals.

She was rushed in an NYPD cruiser to St. Barnabas Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.
