Police shot a suspect while searching for a potential gunman at an Upper Manhattan park on Sunday night, cops and sources said.

The shooting took place near the Little Red Lighthouse inside Fort Washington Park at about 8:30 p.m., police said.

About 15 minutes earlier, a man had told police that he heard a gunshot while he was being followed by another man, the sources said.

As police searched the park, they located a 23-year-old man armed with a gun. 

The cops ordered him in English and Spanish to drop the weapon, authorities said. 

But the suspect refused, police said, and then pointed the weapon towards the officers — prompting them to shoot him in the torso.

The man was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in stable condition, police said. Multiple officers were also hospitalized for tinnitus. 

A firearm was recovered in the park, according to police.
