Crime in NYC: Shots fired at NYPD officer on duty after minor Harlem crash
Authorities say the rookie officer was driving into Manhattan from the Bronx on Macombs Dam Bridge when he was stopped by a runaway black 2009 Ford with a New Jersey number plate.
As that SUV continued west, shots were fired from it in the direction of the officer on duty.
The officer, who had only been at Manhattan North for 16 months, was not fired.
Police conducted a search for the SUV, which was tracked via technology, into Queens.
It was eventually discovered and stopped at Blake and Van Sinderen Avenue in East New York, Brooklyn.
The suspect has been detained and charges are pending.
The second person in the vehicle is said to have been picked up after the alleged incident.
