A shooter opened fire at an off-duty NYPD officer in Upper Manhattan after a Wednesday morning crash, cops said.
The male officer was driving his personal car on his way to work – on the Macombs Dam Bridge at West 155th Street and Edgecombe Avenue – around 6:45 a.m. when he was sideswiped by a Ford SUV with New Jersey plates, according to cops and police sources.
Both drivers pulled over – at which time someone opened fire from the Ford, cops and the sources said. It was unclear whether the driver, or a passenger, fired the shots.
