A man was shot in the ass in a restaurant in New York

A gunman blasted a man in the butt at a Bangladeshi restaurant in Queens on Saturday afternoon, cops said.

The 35-year-old victim was inside the Boishakhi restaurant on 36th Avenue near 30th Street in Astoria when his shooter opened fire around 3:35 p.m., hitting him once in the buttocks, cops said.

Doctors transported the man to Elmhurst Hospital Center where he was listed in stable condition, police said.

The suspect fled in an unknown direction and there were no arrests.

A police source said the shooting appeared to be a targeted attack and may have stemmed from an earlier incident between the two men.

The investigation continued on Saturday evening.
