The New York City Police Department officer in charge of security at Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence and City Hall has been suspended after authorities say he shot a man in the head while off-duty.

According to the NYPD, the attack occurred around 9 p.m. Monday evening in the Bronx after the officer interacted with several men regarding a stolen car.

The officer, whose identity was not publicly released, had not been arrested or charged with a crime as of Thursday morning, police said. He was suspended without pay.

The city’s official mayoral residence is a stately home known as the Gracie Mansion, located in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan.
