Man Shot in Dyker Heights This Afternoon
A 28-year-old man in Dyker Heights was slashed in the chest and shot in the (hip or leg) today around 4:45 pm today. The man got in his Porsche and drove to Bay Ridge Avenue and 12th Avenue. (News)
The man was taken to Maimonides Hospital and he is expected to recover.
Many people shared videos to let neighbors know about the closed street and the police activity in the area. (See videos)

People were worried because this incident happened near PS 176.
Loudlabs wrote that the man may have been shot on 7th Avenue and 71st Street and then drove his Porsche to this location. You can see the man’s shirt and shoes in Loudlabs’ video. (Here)
Assemblyman Lester Chang immediately shared information to let everyone know what was going on in the area:
Helicopters were searching over the area for a long time, but no one has been arrested.
Justin Brannan did not go to the area. Brannan said the man was shot, but did not say he was slashed. Brannan also didn’t say that this incident happened in our community on 7th Avenue and 71st Street – he represents that area (so it isn’t elsewhere.)
Senator Iwen Chu did not write anything about this shooting on Twitter or Facebook. What was the motive for the stabbing/shooting?
Senator Chu hasn’t been responsive to crime in the area. Update: On August 30th, Senator Chu did not share anything. I don’t think she knows it is her district.
When Foridun Maulonou, the 15-year-old student, was killed in July, Senator Chu did not share any information until the next day…and even then she wrote about the senior center, not the students.
