The New York City Police Department on Friday released shocking video of a masked suspect shooting repeatedly at a man and narrowly missing two children.
Footage shows the person tackling the two children to the ground as the gunman approaches and opens fire. He appeared to strike the frantic man at least twice as the children ducked in and out of the crossfire.
The NYPD said the incident occurred in broad daylight on Thursday at 1551 Sheridan Ave. in the Bronx and that none of the children were struck by gunfire.

The NYPD confirmed in a statement to the Washington Examiner that the victim was hospitalized.
The suspect was seen hopping on a scooter and fleeing the scene with an unidentified driver.
