Two NYPD Cops Shot / Officer Released + Hospital Press Conference / Manhattan 8.1.24 #breakingnews

8.1.24 | By Devin | Manhattan | Two NYPD sergeants were shot following a police chase on Manhattan's Lower East Side Thursday afternoon. The shooting unfolded on Canal Street near Eldridge Street around 4:15 p.m. when the sergeants were responding to an armed robbery call, according to sources.

Police say the suspect, identified as 22-year-old Joshua Dorsett, was seen on video going to a Mahjong parlor on the second floor of a building on Canal Street, pulling out a gun, and announcing a robbery, pointing the gun at several women and stealing their purses before fleeing the scene.

Responding officers quickly located the suspect on Eldridge Street.

When two uniformed sergeants stopped Dorsett, he allegedly began to pull a loaded firearm from his front pants pocket. In a struggle between Dorsett and police for control of the gun, a shot was fired, striking both officers.

One officer was shot in the upper thigh, the other was grazed in the left thigh, according to police. Both officers were taken to Bellevue Hospital and are expected to make a full recovery.

The suspect was taken into custody and a pistol was recovered at the scene.

Police say Dorsett has three prior arrests, the last of which was in 2022 for criminal possession of a controlled substance. Authorities say he is also a known gang member.(Source FOX5)
