Cops released surveillance footage of the gunman who allegedly shot a 15-year-old boy — and struck an innocent cabbie with a stray bullet in Harlem — leaving both in critical condition over the weekend.

The suspect was sitting in the back seat of a vehicle at West 131st Street and Eighth Avenue around 9:45 p.m. Saturday when the teen approached and got into an argument with him, cops said.

The gunman opened fire multiple times, striking the teen in the torso.

The teen, who had a gun on him at the time and tossed it onto the sidewalk, was taken to Mount Sinai Morningside in critical condition.

A stray bullet struck a livery cab driver nearby, police said.

He was taken to the same hospital, where he is also clinging to life.

A woman and a child were in the cab, but were uninjured, police sources said Saturday.
