A man was shot in the back on the subway in Brooklyn on Christmas morning, police said.
As the Manhattan-bound M train was pulling into the Lorimer Street subway station in Williamsburg, a shooter blasted Jose de Jesus Vargas, 26, twice in the back and once in the shoulder at around 1:15 a.m., cops said.
Vargas allegedly told cops he was “sleeping when he felt pain.”
The gunman fled the scene, and the victim was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he is in stable condition.
Police are investigating.
