A gun-toting suspect fired a round at cops pursuing him just five blocks from the Red Hook Justice Center — where the City’s new top cop Bill Bratton was announced Thursday.
Plainclothes officers were inside the Red Hook houses on Columbia and Dwight Streets in Brooklyn around 5:30 p.m. Thursday, scouring the area for a suspect armed with a gun, according to police.
That’s when the two sharp-eyed officers spotted Calvin Randall, 25, and identified themselves, cops said.
Randall, in a panic, began resisting arrest and reached for his waistband, where he had a .22 caliber Arminius revolver, cops said. He managed to pull out the gun and fired one round but no one was injured.
Randall was charged with attempted murder, attempted assault on a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon, reckless endangerment and resisting arrests, cops said.
