The shooting happened just after 3:00 p.m.
Authorities said a man was shot in the back near the intersection of Madison and Rutgers Streets, which is near an entrance to the F train station at East Broadway.
The victim was taken to NY Downtown Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The MTA did get a report of an armed man on an F train at that station, but a search did not lead to the suspect. The gunman remained at large.
MTA service was not impacted.
