Police shot a man in the chest and arm on Sunday afternoon, critically injuring him, officials said.
Police said officers saw the man breaking into a car in the Bronx and that he turned on them with a loaded gun.
A video from bystanders shows the officers struggling with the man, who was on the ground next to a car with a broken rear window. He was yelling, "This is my car, I know my rights."
An officer then shoots him at close range as many people recorded.
The cop is heard shouting "What's wrong with you man" after the suspect was shot.
The man was taken to Lincoln hospital where he was in stable condition.
Police said they recovered his weapon.
Two officers were taken to a hospital for treatment of ringing in their ears.
