An off-duty officer from the New York City Police Department shot dead an alleged assailant during a moped ambush, with the second suspect still at large.
The incident unfolded just after 9.45 p.m. on Sunday outside a residential building in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan, according to NYPD officials.
Two men approached the cop, each riding a moped, before one dismounted and asked whether the officer “knew an individual’s name,” before moving to display a firearm, Deputy Chief Eric Pagan, an executive officer of the Patrol Borough of Manhattan North, said in an early morning press conference Monday.
The off-duty NYPD officer responded by drawing his weapon, firing multiple rounds at a 30-year-old male suspect before the other man fled the location on his moped, Pagan said.
