One man is recovering after a police-involved shooting in Bushwick.
Cops were called to a home on Hancock Street Wednesday night for a domestic dispute and encountered a 26-year-old man with a knife.
Officers say they ordered the man to drop the weapon, but he moved toward them with the knife raised. One of the cops then fired a single shot, hitting him in the torso.
Police released a photo of the knife that they say the suspect was carrying. He's currently in stable condition at Kings County Hospital, and charges against him are pending.
The two officers were treated for ringing in their ears.
