New York (CNN) An armed robbery call nearly turned deadly for two New York police officers, leading to an exchange of gunfire that ended with the officers hospitalized, a manhunt and fresh scrutiny surrounding the United States' most populated city -- specifically, about the safety of police on the street.

The wounded officers, both men whose names were withheld until family members could be notified, were in St. Barnabas Hospital on Tuesday morning. One of them, who is 30 years old, underwent surgery and is in critical condition after being shot in the arm and lower back. The other, age 38, is in stable condition with gunshot wounds to the chest and arm.

"This is another indicator of the dangers our officers face in the line of duty," said New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who has found himself at odds with some in his police force in recent weeks. "Thank God, these officers will recover."

Authorities, meanwhile, have yet to definitively track down those responsible.

They located the white Camaro that two suspects carjacked a block from the shooting, but no one was inside.

The gunman, after the robbery of a nearby deli, ducked inside a Chinese restaurant, bought an iced tea and then opened fire on the unsuspecting officers from less than 5 feet away.

"He reaches into his pants and takes the gun out," the source said. "He goes right to the window, like he's about to head outside, and fires through the window.

"Then he goes through the door, comes out and shoots these cops as they were frisking the other guy."

Cops were offering a $12,000 for the capture of the shooting suspect (seen in a surveillence video shortly before the incident).

so, from now on whenever criminals do criminal things and officers are targeted it's the mayor's fault because he said he could relate to the protestors?

To me, he looks like he could be something else besides black. But if LIB posted it, I'm pretty sure he researched it thoroughly before testing the waters. If this guy turns up as Hispanic or Middle Eastern, it might be a problem for him.

Middle Eastern would work. Hispanic - that's a bit more difficult to swallow but hey, there's always the mental illness way out.

You must have forgotten how things work around here. You can only claim that if you're white and Christian. If you're not, it's because you were a byproduct of a single parent home.
