Two young men were shot Sunday evening just as a Brooklyn Puerto Rican Day Parade came to a close, cops said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A 19-year-old man was shot in the left arm and a 20-year-old man took a bullet to the back during a clash on 45th Street near 5th Avenue in Sunset Park just after 7 p.m., police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Footage obtained by News 12 <\/a>showed a shooter dressed in all black opening fire while chasing a man wearing red pants down 45th Street, with the latter then falling behind a parked car. <\/p>\n The two men, 19 and a 20, were shot on 45th Street near 5th Avenue in Sunset Park just after 7 p.m., steps from multiple lingering parade-goers.<\/p>\n Police haven\u2019t confirmed a link between the shooting and the Sunset Park Puerto Rican Day Parade & Festival, which kicked off at 5 p.m. at 59th Street and 5th Avenue and ended near 43rd Street. Video taken by a bystander<\/a> showed medics and police responding to the scene, with the roped-off area just steps from dozens of lingering parade-goers.\u00a0<\/p>\n Both victims were taken to NYU Langone Brooklyn Medical Center, where they were listed in stable condition. It was not immediately clear what sparked the fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n Earlier Sunday, further north in the borough, Brooklyn-born Knicks point guard Jose Alvarado started his NBA Finals victory tour <\/a>at the separate Knickerbocker Avenue Puerto Rican Day Parade in Bushwick with Mayor Zohran Mamdani.<\/p>\n Jubilant Puerto Rican Day Parade celebrations drew revelers across the city Sunday.
