NYPD Officer Shot in Brooklyn Early Morning | New York City News
Description
An NYPD officer narrowly escaped serious injury after being shot early Sunday in Brooklyn, thanks to his vest stopping the bullet. The 18-year-old suspect, seen on video with a firearm, approached an unmarked patrol car, prompting officers to exit — leading to the exchange of gunfire. The suspect fled, triggering a foot chase that ended with him tased and arrested, a weapon recovered. Another officer sustained minor injuries. Body cameras weren’t recording during the initial encounter, but were activated after shots were fired — thankfully, no one was hit. The incident underscores the high-stakes, unpredictable nature of police work as the suspect remains in custody with charges pending.
