Three men were shot and two teens slashed in separate incidents overnight in the Bronx and Brooklyn, police said.
In the latest incident, a 33-year-old man was shot in the head and a 41-year-old man was shot in the back at around 9:20 p.m. Friday at 124-21 Flatlands Ave., in the East New York section of Brooklyn, authorities said.
EMS took the men to Brookdale Hospital, where the 33-year-old was in critical condition and the 41-year-old was stable, the NYPD said.
There have been no arrests.
Hours earlier, at around 6:45 p.m., a man was shot in the arm outside a smoke shop on East 149th Street and Prospect Avenue in the Bronx, police said.
It was unclear if the victim, 68, was the intended target, cops said.
He was taken to Lincoln Hospital in stable condition. There are no arrests.
Around the same time, a 13-year-old girl was slashed in the head near a Checkers at 149th Street and Third Avenue, cops said.
EMS took the “highly uncooperative” victim to Harlem Hospital in stable condition, police said.
A short time later, a second victim, a 16-year-old boy, walked into Lincoln Hospital with a slash wound to the stomach, police said.
He was also listed in stable condition.
There have been no arrests in either incident. “The investigation is ongoing,” the NYPD said.
