The NYPD is searching for two armed suspects who fired multiple shots at a Bronx playground before fleeing in a car, captured on surveillance video swapping sweaters.
The incident took place shortly after 5 p.m. at Bathgate Playground. Police say the two approached a group of people, and one of them pulled out a gun and fired several rounds before running away. Miraculously, no one in the park was injured.
The suspects then ran on foot and jumped into a dark-colored sedan, speeding off along Bathgate Avenue. Police have now charged them with reckless endangerment.
What the Suspects Wore
- One suspect wore a red sweater over a black t-shirt, black pants, and black sneakers.
- The second suspect wore a light blue sweater over a white t-shirt, black and white pants, and black sneakers.
A video shows the two suspects taking off their sweaters and swapping them as they crossed the street, possibly to avoid being recognized.
Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org.
