A young mom who was one of three innocent bystanders shot in Times Square recalled begging for her life as she lay bleeding on the ground — while callous bystanders recorded her on their phones.
Wendy Magrinat, 23, relived the harrowing moments in an interview with The Post on Sunday, saying the bullet is still lodged in her leg.
“I was screaming, ‘I don’t want to die, please help me!’ — and people were just recording, they weren’t helping,” the tourist said of the shooting Saturday that left her, another woman and a 4-year-old girl with gunshot wounds.
Magrinat had been waiting to get into the Line Friends store on Broadway with her mom, stepfather, 8-year-old sister, as well as her own husband, Yoel, who was holding their 2-year-old daughter, Elise, she recalled.
As they waited, they became aware of a fight between at least two men, one of whom was standing “practically next to me,” Magrinat recalled.
“A guy called another guy by the [N-word], and I told my husband, ‘This is getting a little heat[ed] up,’” she said, as her husband shifted ahead in line to try to distance himself and their daughter from the chaos.
