    A 13-year-old boy was shot just outside a Bronx subway station late Sunday by a crew of four attackers who made their getaway on Citi Bikes, authorities said.

    The teen took a bullet to the left leg at the intersection of Westchester Avenue and Simpson Street in Longwood – near the stairs leading to the elevated Simpson Street Nos. 2 and 5 subway station, around 8:20 p.m. Sunday, cops said.

    He was taken to Lincoln Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition, authorities said.

    The teen told cops he was standing or walking at the intersection when he heard gunshots, police said.
