An NFL star can be seen fighting for his life in the street after he was sh0t outside a Manhattan restaurant.

New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd was hit in the abdomen in the shocking incident, which took place outside Sei Less in Midtown just after 2am on Sunday morning.

The sh00ting is said to have occurred after a verbal dispute escalated, resulting in a gu::nman firing two sh0ts. The chaotic aftermath was captured by Leeroy Johnson.

In the footage, police can be seen surrounding Boyd as he lay on the floor. Later on, officers were filmed treating the Jets star before he was put on a stretcher and wheeled into an ambulance.

The area was cordoned off after Boyd was rushed to Bellevue Hospital. Police revealed that he was in a critical but stable condition.

Later on Sunday, however, one of the cornerback’s friends told the New York Post: ‘He’s all good right now. He’s in good condition. He’s doing real good.’

Ernest Quander, who grew close to Boyd during the cornerback’s time at the University of Texas, added: ‘He’s a soldier, through tough times… he’s fine. He’s fine.’

Johnson, meanwhile, claimed on social media that Boyd’s teammate Irvin Charles ‘repeatedly threatened me, got in my face and grabbed my phone’ as he reported from the scene. The Daily Mail reached out to representatives of Charles for comment.

Sei Less, an Asian fusion restaurant, is a favorite hotspot of celebrities including Cardi B, 50 Cent, Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg.

It’s claimed that two luxury cars – one of which is believed to have been carrying the gu::nman – fled the scene. Several of Boyd’s teammates sent well wishes to the cornerback in the wake of the shocking attack.

‘Everybody please send prayers to my brother and teammate Kris Boyd and his family!!!’ defensive end Jermaine Johnson wrote on social media.

‘Lord please hold your healing hand over Kris and guide him back to health and safety. Lord I ask that you please just get him through this safely. In your name, Amen.’

Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips posted his own message to social media. ‘Father God, we come to you right now, asking for your healing power over KB,’ he wrote.

‘You are a God of miracles. Lord, place your mighty hand on him as he fights lord God. Guide every doctor, nurse, and surgeon who touches him lord. Give his family strength! Kris is a fighter and we’re all here for him.’

The Daily Mail reached out to Sei Less – which is on West 38th Street near Seventh Avenue – for comment.

There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing. Police say they are looking for a man who fled in a blue BMW in connection to the sh00ting.

‘We are aware of the situation involving Kris Boyd and will have no further comment at this time,’ the Jets said in a brief statement after news of the sh00ting broke.

Boyd is in his first season with the Jets after he signed with them in free agency in March.

The Texas native, who has earned more than $8million in his career, signed a $1.6m contract with Gang Green, according to Spotrac.com.

Boyd has not played this season after going on the season-ending injured reserve list in August with a shoulder injury that required surgery to repair.

He had suited up for the Houston Texans over the past two seasons. He also enjoyed a stint with the Arizona Cardinals after being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2019 NFL Draft.

New York faced the New England Patriots on Thursday night.
