Disturbing video shows the moment a New York City sanitation worker is shot at point-blank range in broad daylight on the sidewalk of a busy Hell’s Kitchen street.
A shooter draws his gun and fires off three rounds as he walks toward the Department of Sanitation employee during a chaotic fight in front of 515 W. 52nd St. on Thursday morning, cellphone video obtained by The Post shows.
The male sanitation worker drops to the sidewalk as a woman is heard screaming in the background. The shooter and a man in a yellow North Face bubble jacket flee in a car as concerned passersby attend to the wounded worker, with blood visible on the concrete, according to the video, shot by a witness from an apartment above.
The worker was shot once in the leg and is expected to survive, cops said.
A second video shot from the street shows the scene moments before the shots rang out in a dispute that the NYPD says was between the worker and his daughter’s ex-boyfriend.
