Officers responded to White Plains Road and Cranford Avenue around 7:50 p.m. when they heard three to five gunshots, Rodney Harrison, the New York Police Department’s chief of patrol services, said at a news conference.

The officers determined that there had been a dispute between two men, in which one of the men shot the other in the arm.

As the officers pursued the gunman, Harrison said, the man pointed a silver firearm at the officers but did not fire. An officer then fired one round at the gunman, striking him in the torso, Harrison said.

The gunman, whose name was not immediately released, fled but collapsed after running about 200 feet. He was then taken into custody, given aid and taken to a hospital, where he was in stable condition, Harrison said. The man who was shot in the arm was also at a hospital, in critical condition, the chief said.

A week earlier, two police officers fired between 20 and 25 rounds during a chase and gunbattle in the Bronx that left a gunman, a female bystander and a 12-year-old girl injured, the authorities said.
