NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- Police on Wednesday identified the man suspected of shooting and injuring a subway rider during an argument on a moving train in SoHo late last month.

Marcos Cofresi, 30, is being sought in connection with the Jan. 28 shooting near the Canal Street subway station at Broadway.

The 34-year-old victim was on a southbound N train around 1 a.m. when he and another man, believed to be Cofresi, got into some sort of dispute.

As the train was approaching the Canal Street stop, Cofresi pulled a gun and shot the man twice, striking him once in the left arm and once in the torso, police said.

Cofresi, of Bushwick, fled the train with a woman at Canal Street, according to police.

EMS transported the victim to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, where he was listed in stable condition. No other injuries were reported.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
