NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police on Monday released images of a suspect wanted for shooting a man in Brooklyn Bridge Park back in August.

The victim, identified by the Daily News as 33-year-old Carey Thame, was walking with a friend inside of the park just after midnight on Aug. 30, authorities said.

Thame and his friend started spontaneously dancing with a couple of women they had just met when they were approached by a man who engaged him in a verbal dispute, police said.

After punching Thame, the man pulled out a gun and shot him, hitting him in the abdomen. The women fled the scene with the man.

Emergency responders transported Thame to Methodist Hospital in stable condition. Thame, a nurse who lives in Orlando but is from Queens, told the Daily News earlier this month he felt “blessed” to be alive.

Cops have not made any arrests yet. Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
