Three teens were shot and wounded in Times Square, sending tourists scurrying for cover, police said Tuesday.

Shots rang out on W. 42nd St. near Seventh Ave. about 11:50 p.m. Monday, cops said.

A 15-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man were both shot in the leg and taken by medics to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.

A 17-year-old boy, grazed in his armpit, got to Harlem Hospital by private means and is also in stable condition.

The shooter, carrying a brown backpack, got away.
