Man Shot Outside Harlem Public Housing Building, Police Say

HARLEM, NY — A man was shot Monday night outside of a public housing development in Harlem after a dispute in the building's lobby, an NYPD spokesman said.

The shooting occurred outside the New York City Housing Authority's Audubon Houses, a one-building development on Amsterdam Avenue between West 154th and 155th streets, around 9:45 p.m., an NYPD spokesman said. One man, 29, was shot in the left leg and taken to the hospital, police said.

The injured man was transported to St. Luke's hospital and is expected to survive his wounds, police said. The man had gotten into a dispute with the suspected gunman right before the shooting.

The suspect fled back inside the Audubon Houses after the shooting, police said.
