MOSCOW, December 21 (Sputnik) — An unidentified black man attacked two police officers in Brooklyn, New York, the New York Times reported Sunday.

According to the publication, with reference to the deputy chief of the local police Kim Royster, the lawbreaker opened fire on the police officers, Liu Wenjian and Rafael Ramos, from a passenger seat of a patrol car, and then run to the nearest underground station.

Eyewitness say that one of the policemen was shot in the head. The offender committed suicide afterwards. Police later found his gun in the patrol car.
