A child and an adult were shot in broad daylight in Coney Island, authorities said.
A boy, 10, and a man, 25, were walking in front of 2321 Mermaid Ave. at approximately 7 p.m. Saturday when a gunman opened fire, cops said.
“I heard the shots and rushed out,” says Abdulla Mohsen, 61, owner of the deli at West 24th Street and Mermaid Avenue, near the site of the shootings.
“I heard the little kid crying; he was shot in the knee. The man was shot in the arm,” Mohsen said.
Police did not know the gunman’s motive.
The victims, who didn’t know each other, were taken to Lutheran Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, cops added.
“They need more [police] bodies on the street,” noted neighbor Evelyn Rivera, 45.
