Suspect arraigned in NYPD officer shooting in Brooklyn

Eyewitness News
NEW YORK (WABC) -- A pair of off-duty EMTs are being credited with jumping into action to help a rookie NYPD officer who was shot multiple times while attempting to arrest a bus fare jumper with his fellow rookie partner in Brooklyn.

Police say 26-year-old Officer James Li got into a gun battle with the suspect at Utica Avenue and Empire Boulevard in Crown Heights. One man was taken into custody, but the manhunt continues for a second suspect.

Rashun Robinson, 28, has been arrested on attempted murder, assault, weapon possession and other charges.

Robinson didn't even make an attempt to get bail Thursday night.
