MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) -- Police have arrested one man in connection with a brazen broad daylight shooting in Manhattan, but the woman who fired the shots is still being sought.

An unidentified woman seen in the surveillance video actually firing the gun remains at large.

She is described as being approximately 5-foot-6 with a heavy build, last seen wearing a dark blue hooded bubble jacket, blue sweatpants, and black or gray boots. She was armed with a silver handgun.

The 18-year-old was not seriously injured.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
