Gunfire Erupts in Manhattan Park: Man Shot in Face by Armed Duo on Moped
A man was shot in the face late Saturday night in Fort Washington Park, located in Manhattan, by two armed assailants on a moped. The victim reportedly returned fire at the fleeing suspects using his own weapon, law enforcement sources indicated.

The victim is believed to be in stable condition and expected to survive.
