A stray bullet struck an MTA bus in Harlem on Sunday, coming within inches of a passenger — and part of a wave of city violence that now has some drivers seeking bullet-proof vests, according to officials.

The frightening incident occurred on the M101 line shortly before 2:30 p.m. when the slug lodged in the side of the bus, which had about 30 passengers, during a nearby shootout, police said.

None of the shaken riders or driver were injured — but they easily could have been, said Richie Davis, vice president and chief of staff for Local 100 of the Transit Workers Union.

“[The bullet] could have killed a woman sitting right there, or the bus operator, who is understandably very shaken up and traumatized,” the union official said, adding that the slug hit the bus right behind the door on the right side.

The shooting happened at 125th Street and Lexington Avenue, where police marked off about a dozen spent rounds near the bus and a bloody rag could be seen nearby.
