NYPD officers shot and wounded a man Tuesday evening in Brooklyn shortly after he had allegedly been involved in a gunfight with an assailant who fled, a department assistant chief said.

About 7:30 p.m., two officers in a patrol car heard gunshots near Ocean and Church avenues in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. They soon saw two men allegedly involved in a shootout, said NYPD Assistant Chief Frank Giordano at a news conference late Tuesday.

Officers fired at the alleged gunman closest to them, hitting him at least once, Giordano said.

Edynesson Bauduy, 22, of Brooklyn, who is on parole after serving time for a shooting and a robbery, was taken into custody and transferred by ambulance to Kings County Hospital in stable condition, Giordano said.
