A 43-year-old woman walking on a Brooklyn street was shot after two people on bicycles opened fire on a parked car yesterday afternoon. The shooting occurred a few blocks from the Bushwick NYPD station.

The victim, who police believe was not the intended target, was shot in front of 1397 Myrtle Avenue just before 4:30 p.m.

NBC New York described the chaos captured on surveillance video: "Video shows a man running on the sidewalk, appearing to flee from the apparent shooter. Seconds later, a woman walking behind him suddenly touches her back, realizing she's been shot. She holds her hand to the wound as another bystander runs for help. After a minute, the woman walks on her own to a clinic down the street."



She was taken to Elmhurst Hospital in serious condition. Her injuries are not life-threatening.

While many people were shocked, one resident told WABC 7, "It's scary, but at the same time this is New York. People throw each other in front of subway trains in Manhattan all the time. So you can't worry about it too much, you do what you can to keep yourself safe, and go from there."

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
