A 32-year-old Bronx woman is lucky to be alive after a stranger randomly fired a single round at the back of her head in broad daylight — miraculously missing her by “a centimeter” as she turned her head away, cops said.
The victim was walking home around 9 a.m. Friday when the unidentified hooded gunman approached her from behind on a University Heights street and brazenly pointed the weapon without saying a word, authorities said.
The maniac then pulled the trigger – with a single slug just missing the victim as she moved her head out of its path, police said.
The woman was not shot, but suffered injuries when she fell to the ground and hit her head, cops said.
Police are investigating the shooting, which took place on West 183rd Street near Davidson Avenue, as an attempted murder.
Authorities said the victim did not know the shooter.
Cops on Wednesday released a photo of the maniac wearing all black, with the hood of his jacket pulled up over his head as he walked on the sidewalk.
He has a dark complexion, stands about 6 feet tall and appears to weigh about 200 pounds, police said.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
