Three people were wounded, one critically, in a shooting outside a Bronx subway station Wednesday, cops said.
The violence erupted at Broadway and W. 238th St. in Kingsbridge on the streets below the elevated 238th St. subway station shortly after 5 p.m., according to law enforcement.
Medics rushed the three victims to a local hospital.
The shooting occurred just hours after two teenage boys were wounded in a stabbing outside MS 244 The New School for Leadership and the Arts located about four blocks away.
A 16-year-old boy’s neck was slashed and a 14-year-old boy was stabbed in the abdomen on Sedgwick Ave. near W. 231st St. around 2:50 p.m., cops said.
Both boys were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and are expected to survive.
Cops are searching for two suspects in the stabbing.
The shooting comes a day after Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced the NYPD will be assigning an additional 200 officers to the Bronx, which the department plans to divide into two patrol boroughs.
The Bronx has always had just one patrol borough, while Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan each have two. But Tisch said the amount of serious crime in the Bronx calls for two patrol boroughs.
