Police Blotter: Driver stopped by cops fires shots as he flees

HOLLISWOOD — An unidentified man squeezed off several rounds at two 105th Precinct officers Friday night, after the officers stopped his car at 93rd Avenue and 203rd Street in a routine search, police said.

The officers returned fire at the man, who jumped out of his car after he was pulled over, said Officer Cheryl Cox, a Police Department spokeswoman.

She said that about 15 minutes prior to the 8:44 p.m. incident the man had robbed a Subway sandwich shop at 196-02 Linden Blvd. Cox said the unidentified man went into the shop and pulled out a silver handgun and demanded cash, then fled with $200 in a tan sedan.

The officers of the 105th Precinct did not know that the man was involved in an earlier robbery when they pulled him over, police said. Nobody was injured in the shoot-out, but the man fled in his car and the two officers were taken to Long Island Jewish Hospital for evaluation, Cox said.

There was no description of the man.
