NEW YORK- A man was shot by police Monday night after a scuffle ensued when officers asked a large group at a cookout to turn down a loud radio, authorities said.
Officers responding to a noise complaint around 7:40 p.m. in Brooklyn repeatedly asked the group to lower the blasting music, police said. One man struggled with officers and resisted arrest, police said.
During the scuffle, another man wielding a metal scooter smacked an officer on the head from behind, and the officer’s partner shot him, police said.
Two officers suffered head injuries in the melee and were taken to a hospital. Two men were arrested, and one was taken to a hospital.
The conditions of the injured weren’t immediately disclosed.
