Innocent bystander shot in Times Square in broad daylight

An innocent bystander was shot outside the Marriott Hotel in Times Square late Sunday afternoon, police sources said — mere feet from where a 4-year-old girl and two others were struck by gunfire last month.

The 21-year-old man was walking with his family outside the hotel at 1535 Broadway when he was hit just after 5:15 p.m., according to the sources and NYPD.

He was taken to an area hospital and is expected to survive, police said.

Police recovered shell casings on West 45th Street outside the Minskoff Theatre, sources added — one block where shots rang out on May 8, leaving three people injured.

Cops were on the lookout for two men believed to be responsible for Sunday’s carnage, police sources said.
