A man was shot three times in a vicious attack in the Bronx on Tuesday, cops said.
The 54-year-old victim was sitting in the driver’s seat of a black sedan parked outside the Cea-Lo Cafe on Soundview Ave. near Bruckner Blvd. in Soundview when the shooter fired four shots around 7 p.m., cops said.
The bullets passed through the car’s driver’s side door and windshield, striking the victim twice in the left arm and once in the torso, said police.
Medics rushed the victim to Jacobi Medical Center in stable condition.

A friend of the victim told the Daily News he grew up in the Sotomayor Houses located across Soundview Ave. from where he was shot.
“There’s a lot of love from a lot of people for him,” the victim’s friend said.
“He’s a great citizen. He gave out Thanksgiving dinners to everyone. On Halloween he gave all the kids candy, and at the begging of [the] school he gave out book bags.”
The victim appeared alert and able to sit up as medics treated him, the friend said.
“He’s a big dude,” he said. “It will take a lot to kill him.”
There were no immediate arrests in the attack.
