Two police officers were attacked by a passer-by at
about 8:30 p.m. on 8 February while they were sitting in a locked police van
with emergency lights activated, injuring one of the law enforcement officers,
the New York Post reported earlier in the day.
New York police officials say a second police
officer has been shot in the Bronx, only hours after a gunman attacked officers
in a patrol van, The New York Post reported.
According to ABC7 citing the police, the suspect is
in custody. Police say there could possibly be a connection to Saturday's
police-involved shooting.
The NYPD has asked people to avoid the area of
Southern Blvd and Longwood Ave in the Bronx due to the shooting incident.
