A man was shot and injured at the Queensbridge Houses NYCHA complex in Long Island City Thursday, April 13, and the suspect remains at large, according to police.

Police say the victim was shot in the right hand and stomach by an unidentified suspect at around 8:45 p.m. at 40-09 10th St.

The alleged shooter then fled the scene in an unknown direction, cops said.

The victim was transported by EMS to Cornell Hospital and is expected to survive.

Video posted to the Citizen app shows around two dozen police examining a basketball court inside the complex shortly after the shooting. The NYPD said it recovered two shell casings from the scene.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.
