Harlem detectives are looking for the suspect who shot a man right across the street from a police precinct early on Saturday morning.

Cops said the brazen shooting happened at about 1:59 a.m. on Oct. 12 at 233 West 135th St., directly across from the 32nd Precinct stationhouse.

Officers rushed to the scene upon hearing reports of the incident and found the victim, a 40-year-old man, with a bullet wound to his groin.

So far, investigators have had difficulty obtaining information about what led up to the shooting; police sources said the victim has been uncooperative with detectives.
