New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was shot and critically hurt outside a popular Midtown restaurant and speakeasy early Sunday.
The 29-year-old NFL player was shot in the abdomen on W. 38th St. near Seventh Ave. and is now in critical but stable condition at Bellevue Hospital, according to law enforcement sources.
Cops said the shooting happened during a dispute outside Sei Less, an Asian Fusion “speakeasy” popular with celebrities, including athletes, rappers and Mayor Adams.
Surveillance footage seen by cops shows a small group of men and at least one woman get startled and start running, a law enforcement source said. Boyd is among the group that scattered but then drops to the ground, the source said.
Police sources said the dispute started among a group of men outside the restaurant and Boyd was hit by one of two shots fired.
Investigators are still trying to determine if he was the intended target, the sources said.
“We are aware of the situation involving Kris Boyd and will have no further comment at this time,” the NFL said in a statement.
Police have made no arrests.
Boyd joined the Jets this year after signing a $1.6 million one-year contract but never took the field after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.
Before signing with the Jets, he played with the Minnesota Viking for four years, followed by a year with the Arizona Cardinals and two with Houston Texans.
