EAST FLATBUSH, Brooklyn (WABC) -- One man is in custody and another is on the run after an exchange of gunfire with two police officers in East New York, Brooklyn.

A 24-year-old man was taken into custody.

Another man, described as wearing a red bubble jacket, ran from the park into a house across the street on East 92nd Street.

A large number of police responded to search for the suspect and for the gun, which was not recovered.
