Eight people were shot and others were stabbed and trampled early Sunday when fighting broke out inside a nightclub above a Times Square arcade, police said. A man who was shot in the chest and a woman shot in the stomach appeared to be the most seriously injured. Both were in critical condition Sunday, said a police spokesman. Three people were hospitalized with stab wounds, and at least two people were trampled by frantic club goers trying to escape the fighting and gunfire, police said. One witness said he heard gunshots about 2: 40 a.m. and estimated that as many as 350 people were inside the Broadway City Arcade’s club, on 42nd Street, a busy tourist area.
