A shooting at a Fordham bodega Friday left a man with a graze wound to his head, according to police.
Authorities say the incident occurred just before midnight on Grand Concourse and East 180th Street.
The 42-year-old victim was hospitalized in stable condition.
Police say the suspect has a beard and was last seen walking a dog.
The suspect was wearing a black hat, grey shorts and white socks.
No arrests had been made as of Saturday evening.
The incident was caught on video.
Surveillance video shows the suspect pull out a gun and wait for several moments outside of the bodega. As a customer inside of the store began to leave, the shooter pulled the trigger.
The glass door shattered, and two customers were injured.
Their condition was not immediately known.
Bodega owner and activist Francisco Marte told News 12 no one else was injured, but the owner of the bodega is traumatized. He said this violence needs to stop.
"We need more patrolling from the NYPD so criminals don't have guns in the streets so freely," Marte said.
He added that this specific bodega has many security cameras but no panic buttons. They are set to have one installed next week.
