A tourist was struck by a stray bullet while walking with his family in Times Square late Sunday afternoon, police sources said — a block from where a 4-year-old girl and two others were struck by gunfire last month.
Samuel Poulin, 21, a Marine, was with his wife, sister and brother-in-law outside the Marriott Hotel on West 45th Street and Broadway when he was hit in the upper back by a ricocheting bullet just after 5:15 p.m., according to the sources and NYPD.
The violence erupted amid a dispute between two groups — possibly CD peddlers — with one man opening fire from a sidewalk, the sources said.
