The incident happened on Sunday morning and went from zero to a hundred in a split second, involving what the NYPD has repeatedly said is a problem plaguing the city - illegal guns on the street.
It started outside a banquet hall on Bedford Avenue in Flatbush. In an exclusive video obtained by Eyewitness News, officers responded to the corner of Snyder Avenue around 3:15 a.m. Police say there was a fight between two groups of people and a small crowd going back and forth.
Additional officers arrived on the scene and the hall closed around 3:30 a.m., but people were still out front. About ten minutes later, officials say one officer told another that two men in a black four-door Honda that was parked, menaced him with a gun. The black vehicle then pulled up to the light right next to an ambulance. A pair off officers waked up to the vehicle - one appeared to lean in and that is when the driver hit the gas.
Officials say that the sergeant's arm got lodged in the passenger's side window - he stumbled and his weapon went off, firing one round.The NYPD is calling the incident an 'accidental discharge' - no one was seriously hurt.
