An off-duty Border Patrol agent was shot in the face after being robbed by a moped-riding illegal immigrant in a New York City park — but he shot back and wounded his attacker, according to sources.
The 42-year-old federal agent and a female companion were sitting on a rock along the Hudson River in Fort Washington Park in Manhattan when they were ambushed by the two men on a moped, according to police sources. After a brief exchange and tussle, one of the moped-riding men fired a gun and hit the victim in the face and left forearm. The agent then drew his own pistol and fired multiple shots at the perps, hitting the suspect. He was struck and wounded three times by the return gunfire, sources said.
