NEW YORK — A teenager has been arrested for shooting a tourist in Times Square Thursday night.
It was a manhunt for most of the day before U.S. Marshals found the 15-year-old at a home on Saratoga Avenue in Yonkers.
We are not reporting the suspect’s name or showing his face because he is a juvenile.
Police tell us that teenager was with his mom in Yonkers when he was caught and was crying as he was taken into custody. He was still being questioned by investigators Friday night, but police say he will likely be charged as a juvenile. He’s expected to be charged with attempted murder.
The suspect arrived in New York from Venezuela less than six months ago and was living at a migrant shelter on the Upper West Side.
A police source tells us he’s also a suspect in a January armed robbery in the Bronx, as well as another shooting in Midtown where no one was hurt.
Investigators could still be seen inside the Yonkers home late Friday night.

Shocking surveillance video shows the moment a teen, dressed all in white, opened fire on a female security guard inside of JD Sports in Times Square.
“The shooting incident in Times Square last night was way beyond reckless,” Caban said.
According to police, the gunman and two friends stole clothes and sneakers and were trying to exit the store when a security guard confronted them. The teen in white can be seen on video walking away, and then turning around, pointing a .45 caliber pistol, and firing.
“The girl who got shot was between us two. We heard a big bang and then realized what happened,” tourist Lone Hansen said.
Officials said the bullet missed the guard, but hit a tourist from Brazil in the leg, barely missing Hansen and her son, who are visiting from Denmark.
“I just heard the gunshots and then everybody run,” Albert Hansen said.

“He turns once. He fires towards our officer. Our officer takes his gun out. He cannot return fire, there’s too many people in his way. As the suspect goes through the cut between the buildings,…
