Police are hunting a gunman who fired ten shots through the window of a Morrisania apartment, blasting away from the street until his clip was empty, authorities said.
Surveillance footage captured the unidentified gunman walking up to the building at Bryant Avenue and Freeman Street on June 15 around 11:40 p.m., then opening fire, according to the NYPD.
No one was struck by the bullets, police said. The gunman fled and remains in the wind.
Anyone with information is asked to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
