Officers injured in Central Islip arrest
Four officers who responded to a 911 call reporting shots fired in Central Islip early Wednesday suffered minor injuries while taking a suspect into custody, police said.
The officers were not identified and their injuries were not detailed. It was unclear if any were hospitalized.
Suffolk County police said the suspect, whose identity also was not released, was admitted to Southside Hospital in Bay Shore. His condition was not immediately known.
Police said the incident occurred in a home on Hickory Street at about 2 a.m.
The initial 911 call reported shots fired through the wall of an apartment -- apparently originating in an adjoining apartment in the home, police said.
Police could not immediately say how many shots had been fired and or if a weapon was recovered. No one in the apartment was injured.
Charges against the suspect were not available.
