Video released by the NYPD Monday shows a gunman on the back of a motorcycle pull out a gun and fire several rounds at a teenager in the Bronx, striking him twice in the leg, according to police.

The two men on the bike were driving past 2418 University Ave. around 10 p.m. Friday when the shooter raised his weapon and started firing toward a 15-year-old who was standing in front of the building, cops said.

The two suspects were described as having heavy builds and wearing dark colored clothing, cops said.
