NYPD cop shot as gunfire erupts in Brooklyn’s Brownsville
A pair of NYPD cops involved in a “friendly fire” shooting that left one officer and two bystanders wounded remain on active duty while the incident is investigated, the department said Monday.
Compounding the chaos surrounding the incident, police also launched a manhunt for a weirdo who made off with the knife used to attack the cops at a Brooklyn subway station — which sparked the shooting.NYPD officers stand guard outside Brookdale Hospital, where one cop was being treated after a shooting at a Brooklyn subway station on Sunday.
Both officers fired Tasers at Mickles when he became more hostile and refused to comply, but both charges failed to stop him and he allegedly lunged at one of the cops with the knife, NYPD Chief of Department Jeffery Maddrey said.As they handcuffed Mickles, the cops realized not only that the suspect had been hit, but also that one of the officers was struck in the armpit and two straphangers had been grazed, police said.
The man is seen wearing a light blue baseball cap, a long sleeve shirt with a pattern and blue jeans.
