A retired NYPD cop was shot during a dispute in the Bronx early Tuesday, cops said.

The 53-year-old man was in the middle of a confrontation with another man around 5 a.m. on Morris Avenue near East 182nd Street in Fordham Heights when he was shot in the torso, police said.

He is currently hospitalized in stable condition, according to cops.

It’s unclear what led to the squabble.
