VIDEO: Man with rod dodges gunman's bullets in the Bronx

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A gunman opened fire on a rod-wielding man, who dodged and apparently avoided injury, in the Bronx on Tuesday, police said.

The NYPD released video of the broad-daylight shooting Wednesday as they search for the gunman.


Police responding to a ShotSpotter activation near Gleason and Croes avenues in the Soundview section around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday didn't find the gunman, but an investigation led them to video of the confrontation.

The two men then walked northbound on Croes Avenue to Gleason Avenue, where the gunman again fired at the man "numerous times."
