NEW YORK — NYPD cops shot and wounded a machete-wielding man threatening a motorist over a parking spot in Coney Island, police said.
An officer suffered a deep cut to his thumb during the fierce exchange Thursday, which involved the suspect chasing the officer around a car outside the DMV on West Eighth Street near Sheepshead Bay Road in Coney Island, police sources said.
Three officers were near the DMV, which is down the block from the 60th Precinct stationhouse, when they saw the suspect argue with a motorist over a parking spot the suspect felt he had dibs on.
