The incident happened on W. 125th St. around Adam Clayton Powell Blvd about 3:25 p.m., authorities said.

A 20-year-old man allegedly got into an argument with three other people, the Daily News reported. The three people initially walked away from the dispute but came back with at least one gun, a witness told the Daily News.

The trio fired shots, striking the 20-year-old in the right leg as well as an uninvolved 48-year-old woman. The woman, who was shot in the leg, was selling handbags and jewelry on the street nearby.

Both victims were taken to local hospitals, the man to St. Luke’s Roosevelt and the woman to NYC Health + Hospitals/Harlem. They are both expected to recover.

No arrests have been made and the investigation remains ongoing.
