2:05Now PlayingA Times Square food vendor was shot by a group of armed thugs who were chasing a knife-wielding man through the area Wednesday, police sources and witnesses told The Post.
The 29-year-old male victim was wounded in his right arm when the gunfire erupted at Seventh Avenue and West 47th Street just before 5 a.m., police said.
In the moments before gunfire rang out, wild video captured the armed thugs chasing down an unidentified man, who appeared to be armed with a small blade, as punches flew.
The screaming youngsters appeared to be trying to retrieve a backpack from the man, according to the footage and witnesses.
“It looked like a bunch of people pouring out of the subway. They just started fighting each other,” witness Rob Rosenberg said. “Someone was yelling about something being stolen.”
At one point, the knife-brandishing man was filmed flinging the bag onto the street before he walked off in the direction of the food cart.
Rosenberg, who filmed the ordeal while on his way home from work, recalled four to five gunshots being fired just moments after he stopped recording.
