BROOKLYN — A 10-year-old girl was recovering at a Brooklyn hospital after she was hit by an NYPD patrol car in Brownsville Sunday night, a police spokesman said.

The girl, whose name was not released, was walking south on Mother Gaston Boulevard at New Lots Avenue where an eastbound NYPD car hit her about 11:15 p.m., the NYPD said.

The girl was taken to Kings County Hospital where she was listed in stable condition, a police spokesman said.
