N.Y.P.D. Detective Mario Muniz was wheeled out of Bellevue Hospital to applause on Wednesday. The officer had surgery there Monday after he was shot below his bulletproof vest during a wild gun battle with fugitive Charles Mozdir on W. Fourth St. Mozdir was killed and Muniz and two U.S. marshals were injured in the furious fusillade.
