A New York City police officer suffered critical injuries when he was attacked and his gun was stolen in a violent robbery while off duty, NYPD said. 

The officer remained hospitalized with facial fractures Monday as police were looking for two suspects, a father and son, in the armed attack over the weekend in the Bronx.

Mayor Eric Adams visited the officer in the hospital and said he is now in stable condition.

The NYPD released images of one of the two suspects wanted in the brutal beating and robbery of the 27-year-old officer. He was identified by police as 23-year-old Taveon Hargrove.

Police later identified the second suspect as Hargrove's father, 55-year-old Jeffrey Hargrove. 

According to investigators, Hargrove and his father attacked the officer near St. Peter's Avenue in Parkchester at around 4 a.m. Saturday.

The suspects forced the officer to the ground, struck him in the face and held a knife to his throat before stealing his iPhone and wallet, police said. 

The younger Hargrove allegedly stole the officer's registered gun before running away.
