A woman was shot in Manhattan and a teenaged boy was blasted in Brooklyn in unrelated attacks within two hours of each other Sunday afternoon, police said.
The 48-year-old woman was shot in the thigh while standing outside on 112th St. near Fifth Ave. in Harlem around 2 p.m., cops said. She was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside in stable condition. Police are looking for two suspects who fled on a scooter, authorities said.
Shortly after 4 p.m., cops responding to a 911 call about an assault outside Avenue J and E. 16th St. in Midwood found a 16-year-old boy bleeding from a gunshot wound to his back, authorities said.
