gunAuthorities say a patient has been treated for minor facial cuts after a bullet partially shattered a New York City hospital window.

Police went to the Hospital for Special Surgery on Manhattan’s Upper East Side around 5:45 a.m. Friday following reports of a shooting.

Hospital spokeswoman Elyse Bernstein says the 30-year-old patient was in a room facing 71st Street on the building’s eighth floor.
