Man shot and injured by cops on Staten Island: sources

An NYPD officer shot and injured a man after he lunged at cops with a metal pipe in Staten Island on Friday night, police said.

Officers responded to a call about a disturbance on Malden Place near Falcon Avenue at around 10:35 p.m., NYPD Deputy Chief Charles McEvoy told reporters. The cops tried to speak to a man who was “acting erratically” inside his apartment, and after several minutes, took him to an ambulance waiting outside, McEvoy said.
