A man was shot in the leg outside a pizza joint in Manhattan, cops said Sunday night.
Police responding to a 911 call about shots fired discovered the 28-year-old man with a bullet wound to his left leg shortly after 4 p.m. near Delancey St. and Clinton St. in the Lower East Side, police said. Medics transported the man to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
An employee at a nearby business said he heard one shot ring out before seeing about 10 people run east on Delancey St.
“All I heard was just the shot and then people running,” said the worker, who did not want to be identified.
Two police officers patrolled each end of the block and a bloodstain could be seen on the sidewalk near the entrance to the pizza parlor, which remained open serving a steady stream of customers Sunday night.
So far there have been no arrests. The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
