An unhinged man shot his neighbor with a crossbow in Brooklyn early Wednesday morning, cops said.
Joseph English, 64, allegedly marched up to the victim in the dark at around 4:40 a.m. outside their building on Hanson Place in Fort Greene and threatened him, police and sources said.
“I’m going to shoot you,” English coolly warned before firing an arrow at at the 54-year-old man, according to the police sources.
The victim was hit in the left hip. He was treated at the scene for minor injuries, a police spokesperson said.
