BROOKLYN — A man shot in his leg and foot outside the Tilden Houses Saturday was one of the victims of a weekend of gun violence, police said.

The man, 23, who was not immediately identified, got into an argument with a gunman near 360 Dumont Ave. about 3 a.m., according to the NYPD.

After the shooting, the victim was rushed to Brookdale Hospital and listed in stable condition, police said.

The suspect, who cops said was balding and medium build, was last seen a black shirt, black shorts, and dark sneakers.

The victim was one of 26 people injured and seven killed in shootings last weekend. One of the victims, an 11-year-old girl, was hit by a stray bullet while outside her Brooklyn home and may never walk again, officials said.
