Two plainclothes cops were shot in the Bronx after trying to stop a robbery Monday night, police sources said.

The shooter and his accomplice are at large.

Officer Andrew Dossi, 30, was shot in the arm and back, while Officer Aliro Pellerano, 38, was shot in the arm and abdomen at about 10:30 p.m. in Fordham Heights, police sources said.

The two went to St. Barnabas Hospital, where they are expected to recover.

Dossi went into surgery and is in critical but stable condition, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said. Pellerano is in stable condition.

Mayor de Blasio, currently at odds with the NYPD, visited them overnight.

"This is absolutely a case of officers going above and beyond the call to protect their fellow New Yorkers," de Blasio told reporters. "This is another indicator of the dangers that all officers face in the line of duty. We depend on them to keep this whole city safe."
