A Taxi & Limousine Commission driver was grazed in the back by a bullet when a suspect opened fire as he dropped off a passenger in Brooklyn Thursday morning, cops said. 

The 39-year-old driver was letting a rider out of his car at Ocean Avenue and Farragut Road in Midwood around 6:15 a.m. when someone approached the vehicle and fired a gun, police said. 

The driver was grazed in the back and taken to the Kings County Hospital Center in stable condition, authorities said. 

The shooter, wearing a white T-shirt, took off in a silver two-door Volvo, cops said.

It was not immediately clear whether the victim was the intended target. 

Police also did not know whether the Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC) driver was behind the wheel of a taxi or livery cab.
