A woman was shot in the hip when she got caught in the crossfire as she walked in Coney Island on Sunday afternoon, cops said.
The 29-year-old was in the crosswalk at West 35th Street and Neptune Avenue around 1:30 p.m. when she heard a loud noise and felt pain in her leg, a police spokesman said.
She was taken to NYU Langone Hospital in stable condition.
Investigators believe the woman was caught in the crossfire when a man fired a weapon at a taxi driver during a dispute over money, police sources said. The shooter missed his target but struck the woman.
There were no immediate arrests, cops said.
The city has seen a significant spike in gun violence since the spring.
