The 21-year-old women is in critical condition, while the other seven victims are said to be stable.

A deli worker on the corner told the New York Post: “When I see in the camera I see the cops running with the kids in their hands.
“When I went out I saw one kid was going into the ambulance and I was told there were four inside.”
