NEW YORK -- A woman fell off a moped and was injured after the driver was shot in Queens, police said Sunday.

Both were hospitalized in stable condition.

According to police, a 55-year-old man was driving the moped near Redfern Avenue and Hassock Street in Far Rockaway when he was shot in the torso at around 10:30 p.m. Saturday.

A woman riding on the back of the moped fell off and suffered scrapes as she hit the ground, police said.

Shooters, mopeds, drug addicts, squatters, rapists, robbers, homeless, and mentally ill people all over NYC like every other large urban metropolis but the difference is a lack of control and firm management that's turned this city into a dystopia of epic nightmares daily.
