Authorities are investigating a shooting on the Upper West Side where the suspect fled into the transit system, disrupting subway service in the middle of the day.
Police responding to a call about a shooting near 68th Street and Columbus around 9:15 a.m. found a 47-year-old man shot in the leg and shoulder. He was taken to a hospital and is expected to be OK.
It's not clear if the man knew his attacker, who police say ran into a train station. Footage posted to the Citizen app showed the immediate area blocked off. Shattered glass littered the area around a bus stop, and a bullet hole was evident in an apartment building door just behind the stop.
Surveillance video shows people running down the sidewalk and ducking into businesses right after the shooting.
The city's Office of Emergency Management put out a notification warning people to expect delays and service changes on southbound A, B, C and D trains between 72nd Street and 110th Street in Manhattan.
As of 1 p.m., more than a half-dozen lines were experiencing delays. Check the latest from the MTA here.
