BRONX (WABC) -- Three people, including a teenager, were shot in the Bronx in broad daylight on Monday afternoon outside a subway station.

The shooting was reported on Grand Concourse and East 170th Street around 3 p.m. while terrified witnesses watched.

Witnesses told police the three victims -- ages 16, 22 and 23 -- were walking down the street when a man approached them with his gun drawn.

According to witnesses, the suspect approached the victims from behind, said "hey" and then opened fire on the street.

The 22-year-old was shot four times: in the shoulder, twice in the arm and once in the stomach.

The 23-year-old was shot twice: in the arm and in the leg. The 16-year-old was shot in the leg.

Police are searching for a second suspect after one man was arrested in connection with the robbery of a 14-year-old boy with autism in Manhattan.

All of the victims were found in the stairwell of the subway station.

The 22-year-old was taken to Lincoln Hospital while the younger victims were taken to St. Barnabas.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.

Few other details were released.

A large indoor gathering in the Bronx was shut down by the New York City Sheriff's Department Saturday night.
