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.
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.
