NEW YORK — An argument over a seat on a city bus sparked a foot chase by police down a Jamaica, Queens, street and ended with a rookie officer in the hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg Wednesday afternoon, according to NYPD officials.
It began around 3:20 p.m. when the suspected gunman and another passenger began to quarrel over a seat on an eastbound MTA bus on Jamaica Avenue, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said.
As the argument escalated, the bus driver pulled over and flagged down two officers with the 103rd Precinct Field Training Unit.
