NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police on Thursday released a video of a gunman seen opening fire and repeatedly shooting a man on a Bronx sidewalk in broad daylight earlier this week.

The victim was shot in the left wrist and left leg, authorites said.
He was transported by EMS in stable condition to St. Barnabas Hospital, the NYPD said.
Police are asking for the public's assistance in hopes to locate the gunman.
