Uniformed police officers were at Nagle Avenue and Dyckman Street in Inwood around 3 a.m. when they saw the 29-year-old with a gun involved in a fight and ordered him to drop the weapon, NYPD Chief of Patrol Jeffrey Maddrey said.
“They observe a dispute,” Maddrey said. “As they get closer to the dispute, they observe a male with a gun in his hand fighting in the crowd. The officers exit their vehicle and give commands for the person to drop the firearm.”

Another man in the crowd suffered a graze wound, but it wasn’t clear who shot him, Maddrey said.
Four police officers fired their weapons, Maddrey said. They were taken to a local hospital and treated for tinnitus.
Police were unsure what the disturbance was about.
