The shooting happened during a fight aboard a crowded, Manhattan-bound train, sending riders ducking for cover, witnesses said.
“We all jumped to the floor and stayed below, and the door man opened the doors up, and some people ran out,” said a witness, Junior White.
Two teenage persons of interest were questioned Monday night and later released by the NYPD.
As many as three people are being sought by police in connection with the shooting.
