Times Square Shooter Identified

A suspected gun-toting teen who fired into a crowd in Times Square on Saturday, wounding three people — including two innocent bystanders — was ordered held on $200,000 bail Sunday.

Suspect Jayden Clark, 17, was arraigned in Manhattan criminal court on attempted-murder charges in the early-morning shooting that wounded his target, a 19-year-old man, in the leg — and also injured a 65-year-old bystander in the left knee and grazed an 18-year-old female tourist from Maryland in the neck, cops said.

“All sequences of these events were captured on high-definition surveillance cameras,” Manhattan prosecutor Sidney Balman told the judge at Clark’s hearing.

Clark — who avoided making eye contact with his mother, a city Parks Department worker, and two brothers in court — had gotten into an argument with a Citibike rider inside the nearby Raising Canes restaurant on Broadway around 1 a.m. before the shooting, authorities said.

“While in line to order food, an unknown male inside the restaurant came up to the ordering kiosk and exchanged words with the defendant,” Balman said. “At which the defendant left the restaurant.

“The unknown male and other individuals followed shortly behind. While on 44th Street, the defendant pulled out a firearm, pointed it at the individuals coming out of the restaurant and fired three rounds.

“The defendant hit one male who was part of the group in the restaurant that called him out, as well as other innocent bystanders.”

The suspected gunman then ran west on 44th Street — and right into an NYPD cop on patrol, Balman said.

“The officer recovered a .380-caliber Glock 42 from the defendant’s waistband, which was still loaded with one round in the chamber,” the prosecutor said.

Later “the defendant, in the presence of his mother, waived his Miranda rights and elected to speak to the detectives in the Midtown South detective squad,” the prosecutor said.

“The defendant admitted to firing those shots. The defended admitted to intentionally firing at the first victim.”

The teen’s Legal Aid lawyer asked that he be held on $10,000 cash bail or a $50,000 bond.

“He has not been arrested before,” public defender Sean Parmenter told the judge. “He graduated high school. In the [prosecution’s] own application it states that the individuals, one of them started speaking to my client, unprompted.

“As he left, they decided to follow him out onto the street.”

Prosecutors asked that the teen be remanded without bail.

“We are not aware of any prior record the defendant has, though he faces substantial penalties, and we believe remand is reasonable,” Balman said.

Clark was charged with three counts of attempted murder and gun possession in the case.

Judge Christopher Chin set bail at $200,000 and said Clark will have to wear a monitoring device if he makes it.

The young suspect, who shivered from the air conditioning in court, wore a black t-shirt, blue shorts and ASICS running shoes as he faced the judge.
