Two men were wounded Monday in a wild Bronx shooting that also pierced the window of a city bus, police said.

The victims, one 18 and the other 67, were among a group near the corner of E. 145th St. and Third Ave. in Mott Haven when a gunman approached just before 3:35 p.m., cops said.

The gunman fired multiple shots, hitting the teenaged victim in the right leg, and the older man in the back of his left leg.

A bullet also struck the driver’s side of an in-service MTA bus; neither the driver nor any passenger aboard the bus were hit.

A woman parking her car near the intersection watched in horror as the wounded victims fell to the ground.

“There was a guy bleeding on the sidewalk,” said the woman, who asked to remain anonymous. “That could’ve been me.”

“It was between guys from one side of the projects and the other,” she recounted. “They all know one another. It’s crazy out here.”

Medics transported the injured victims to Lincoln Hospital, where they are expected to survive.

There were no immediate arrests.
