NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Four people, including a toddler, were injured in a shooting at a barbecue block party in East Harlem on Thursday night, police said.
The party was taking place along East 122nd Street, between Second and Third avenues, around 9 p.m. when a shooter walked up and fired away, according to the NYPD.
The gunfire sent members of the crowd ducking for cover. Three people were struck by bullets, police said.
They included two men—ages 33 and 36—who were shot in their legs.
A 25-year-old woman who was walking with her husband and 3-year-old son was also hit in the ankle, according to police.
The 3-year-old also suffered minor injuries, as he was dropped to the ground during the scramble to safety.
All four of the victims were hospitalized in stable condition.
A witness said he saw someone fleeing the scene after the shooting. "I see them running up the block," he said.
It wasn’t immediately clear who the intended targets were. The police investigation at the scene continued overnight and into Friday.
