Two men were wounded in separate shootings less than a mile apart in the Bronx Tuesday night, cops said.
The violence kicked off when a 43-year-old man was shot in his right foot on E. 183rd St. near Bathgate Ave. in Belmont around 7:16 p.m., according to law enforcement officials.
Medics rushed the victim to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition.
Police are searching for a man wearing a black sweatsuit and a black hat, last seen fleeing east towards Bathgate Ave., authorities said.
Less than an hour later, a 25-year-old man was shot twice in his right arm and twice in his right leg at Creston Ave. and E. 191st St. in E. Tremont around 8 p.m., cops said.
That victim was also taken to St. Barnabas, where he’s expected to survive.
A law enforcement source told the Daily News gang violence is suspected in the E. Tremont shooting.
