MANHATTANVILLE, Manhattan (WABC) — An off-duty NYPD officer was injured after being shot in the foot in Manhattanville.

It happened around 4:30 p.m. Saturday on 3250 Broadway near 126th Street at the Manhattanville Houses community center.

The off-duty officer was attending a vigil for a highly respected community member who passed away. The officer was in the lobby, and he saw two people firing a gun.

As the off-duty officer was standing there, he started to feel pain in his left foot, and realized he had been shot, according to officials.

The officer was taken to Mt. Sinai Morningside in stable condition, and doctors say he will make a full recovery.

Police are looking for the suspects who fled the scene, and are reviewing surveillance video.

This officer is the 7th NYPD officer to be shot so far in 2022.
