Shots rang out on a Times Square street early Wednesday just weeks after an innocent tourist was shot blocks away, cops said.
Cops responded to a report of gunfire on West 41st Street near Seventh Avenue around 12:40 a.m., police said.
Thankfully, there were no reported victims, however, there was no immediate information on what led to the gunplay.
The incident occurred weeks after Samuel Poulin, 21, a Marine, visiting the city from upstate Northville, was hit in the upper back by a ricocheting bullet just after 5:15 p.m. June 27.
Avon Darden, 16, was arraigned on attempted murder and gun possession charges in connection to the incident and ordered held on $200,000 bail.
The intended target was another man, with whom Darden was arguing, according to a criminal complaint.
In early May, a 4-year-old girl and two women were also struck by gunfire about a block away from where Poulin was shot. Cops later arrested the alleged 31-year-old gunman, Farrakhan Muhammad, in Florida weeks later.
Muhammad has denied responsibility for the shooting.
