QUEENS, NY — A 16-year-old boy has been arrested after allegedly shooting a 15-year-old inside a subway train in Queens on Monday.



The suspect has been charged with attempted murder, three counts of assault and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

The incident happened at the 80th Street station in Ozone Park around 6 p.m. on Monday.

The 15-year-old was shot multiple times in the neck and back on a northbound A train, police said.

The victim was taken to a local hospital after the incident and remains undergoing treatment.

His family earlier this week disclosed to the media that boy is paralyzed and is on a ventilator.

A motive into the shooting is not known at this time.
