The suspect busted for shooting a rookie cop in a bizarre incident over a Queens bus seat sparked the violent confrontation by attacking a fellow strap-hanger moments after climbing aboard, police said Friday.
Defendant Devin Spraggins was charged with the attempted murder of second-generation NYPD Officer Brett Boller and criminal possession of a weapon after the unprovoked dispute spilled from the bus onto the street.
The suspect was arrested within 30 hours of the shooting after police tracked him to Bronx residence through social media and video, said NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig at a news conference.
