A 20-year-old man was shot in the arm during an early morning altercation at the South Street Seaport. The Daily News reports that a group of people celebrating college graduation pulled into a spot at the notoriously sleepy, quaint Pier 17 on a party bus at around 2:30 a.m. That group began arguing with another group on the pier after "two women got into a shouting match" under the FDR, and shortly after a man who was on the bus shot four rounds from a handgun, striking the victim in the arm. "It was crazy," the bus driver said in what some would consider an understatement.
The victim was taken to Bellevue in stable condition. Police detained everyone on the party bus (now a Corrections bus?) and found marijuana and the handgun on board.
