NEW YORK -- In this edition of 'Eyewitness News Extra Time,' we have more on the rookie officer shot in Queens.
A rookie NYPD officer was shot in Queens Wednesday afternoon after responding to an altercation on a bus.
The 22-year-old officer was shot in the hip and was in surgery at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. The suspect remains at large. Police have offered a $10,000 reward for his capture.
It happened around 3:30 p.m., when an MTA bus driver on Jamaica Avenue flagged down two officers and told them a man was arguing with another passenger over a seat.
When police officers approached the bus, the man attempted to exit the bus and a struggle started. The man shoved the officers out of the way and fled down 161st Street.
The rookie officer was able to catch up to the suspect who turned and fired a single shot striking the officer in the hip, according to Chief of Detectives James Essig.
Jim Dolan and Anthony Carlo have more.
