Three people have been shot and wounded in an early morning incident in New York City’s Times Square, the New York Police Department says.<\/p>\n

The people \u2014 an 18-year-old woman, a 19-year-old man, and a 65-year-old man \u2014 are in a stable condition in hospital, an NYPD spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

A 17-year-old boy is in custody, the police department added, and officers had recovered a firearm from the scene.<\/p>\n

The shooting took place at around 1:20am local time, and followed a “verbal altercation” between the alleged shooter and one of the victims, the NYPD said.<\/p>\n

It is not yet known whether the shooter or any of the victims knew each other.<\/p>\n

Mass shootings are relatively common in the United States, where guns are widely available.<\/p>\n

The incident at one of New York’s most iconic tourist spots comes after another high-profile shooting in a Manhattan office tower<\/a> last month, which left four people dead including a senior Blackstone executive and an NYPD officer.<\/p>\n

New York experienced record-low shooting incidents and victims in the first seven months of this year, as well as in July, according to a statement published by the city’s police department on August 4.<\/p>\n

Crime is a key electoral issue for America’s largest city, which is set to hold mayoral elections in November.<\/p>\n
