A man is in critical condition after an MTA security guard shot him Tuesday in Brooklyn for allegedly threatening to attack his co-worker, police said.
Cops flocked to Union Street and 4th Avenue in Park Slope just after 9 p.m. on Dec. 20 when a shot rang out from the mezzanine. According to NYPD Chief of Transit Michael Kemper, the peculiar incident unfolded at Pacific Street station, when an MTA MetroCard machine maintenance worker–also known as revenue electronic maintainer — was standing on the southbound R train platform with his armed security guard waiting for a train to pull into the station.
“The male became irate and began to threaten to beat them up. As the train arrived the male followed the two MTA employees and continued to threaten the unarmed employee, while his partner tried to calm the male down,” Chief Kemper said.Photo by Gabriele Holtermann “As they reached the mezzanine area of the station, the male began to advance towards the two MTA employees. The armed MTA worker pulled out his firearm, while repeatedly giving verbal commands for the male to back up. The male failed to comply and threatened to forcibly remove the firearm from the MTA employee. During the course of this interaction, the MTA employee fired one round, which struck the male in the chest,” Chief Kemper reported.
