"In another bloody attack on New York’s Finest, two cops were shot and wounded by armed robbers in the Bronx Monday night — and a massive manhunt was underway for at least one suspect early Tuesday.
The plainclothes officers from the 46th Precinct encountered the gunmen as they robbed a Chinese restaurant on Tiebout Avenue at about 10:30 p.m., according to law enforcement sources.
One suspect was inside the restaurant and another was outside when cops confronted them.
The gunman inside the Chinese restaurant opened fire, striking one of the officers.
Two of the suspects then fled the scene on foot and an exchange of gunfire took place at the corner of 184th street and Tiebout Avenue, where the second cop was struck.
Witnesses said they heard a series of gunshots near the location.
“I heard six shots,” Stephen Melowski, 36. “I looked out and I saw the shot cops getting inside a car. Somebody was saying ‘Oh my God, oh my God!’”
One officer was struck in the elbow and stomach and the other cop was shot in the back.
The suspects then carjacked a white Camaro and drove a short distance before crashing at 188th Street and Park Avenue. They then got out and started running.
A weapon was recovered at 189th Street and Park , a source said.
Both officers were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and were taken to surgery. Their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
One of the three suspects was later apprehended at New York Presbyterian Hospital when he sought treatment for a gunshot wound.
The NYPD was scouring the area to find at least one other suspect who fled after the shootout.
Sources said there might also be a third suspect involved in the heist.
Cops were looking for a black Nissan Altima that was rented from an agency in Mount Kisco. It was not clear how the Altima was connected to the suspects, but it may be the vehicle used to ferry the wounded suspect to the hosptial after the shooting, law enforcement soruces said.
Mayor de Blasio arrived at St. Barnabas early Tuesday to console the families of the injured officers.
COP SHOT posted a $10,000 cash reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect.
The shooting comes just weeks after Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were shot execution-style while sitting in their squad car in Brooklyn.
Liu and Ramos were gunned down by a deranged man who said he was out for revenge after the grand jury decision not to indict an NYPD officer in the chokehold death of Eric Garner." .
