(Reuters) -Three people were shot and wounded in New York's Times Square, the New York Police Department said on Saturday.

A 17 year-old male is in custody, the NYPD added. The police also recovered a firearm.
The shooting took place at around 1:20 a.m. ET (0520 GMT) and followed a verbal altercation with one of the victims, the NYPD added. It said it was not known at this time whether the shooter or the victims knew each other.
