OZONE PARK, Queens (WABC) — Police have arrested a 16-year-old boy in connection to a shooting on a Manhattan-bound A train<\/a> in Queens that injured a 15-year-old boy on Monday.<\/p>\n

The unidentified teen was charged on Thursday with attempted murder, three counts of assault and criminal possession of a weapon.<\/p>\n

The chaos unfolded just after 6 p.m. on Monday. Commuters ducked for their lives as gunfire erupted on the train, moments before it pulled into the 80th Street station in Ozone Park.<\/p>\n

Police say the 15-year-old victim was shot at least one time in the chest. Officers took him to Jamaica Hospital in an NYPD vehicle. He is expected to survive.<\/p>\n

It is believed the shooting stemmed from an ongoing argument between teens.<\/p>\n

The teen who was shot was also shot back in February by another one of the teenagers believed to have been involved in the fight, police say.<\/p>\n

That teen was arrested in February, but the charges were dropped after the victim refused to testify against him.<\/p>\n

\"NYPD<\/p>\n

NYPD officers released an image of who they believe is the gunman.<\/p>\n

At least five young men fled after the shooting.<\/p>\n

It’s not clear if police are looking for any additional people in connection to the shooting.<\/p>\n
