Law enforcement officials said that the incident could be connected to an attack on Saturday night, in which an officer was shot in the neck and chin after an assailant approached his van and asked for directions, before opening fire. The officer was rushed to the hospital and is expected to be released in the coming days.
The NYPD are still searching for the suspect in Saturday night’s attack, which also occurred in the Bronx.
