On Thursday, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) released body-camera footage capturing an officer tackling a 15-year-old boy allegedly involved in a shooting incident in Brooklyn.

In a video posted to X, police could be seen chasing a teen down a Brooklyn sidewalk and quickly removing a gun from his hip-area. 

The teenager faces charges of criminal possession of a loaded firearm, criminal possession of a loaded firearm near a school, and criminal possession of a weapon.

A tan 9 mm handgun was confiscated by NYPD, which later shared the video in a message to the community.

A post stated, “Our @NYPD67Pct officers acted promptly when shots were fired in broad daylight. They confronted the danger, swiftly apprehending the suspect. One arrest. One illegal firearm confiscated. One neighborhood made safer.”

NYPD officials informed Fox News that the event occurred just before 5 p.m. on Saturday following a 911 call reporting gunshots in the 67 Precinct.

Once officers arrived, they learned a boy had allegedly shot at another person.

Once spotted by law enforcement, the teen took off, leading officers on a chase down the street.

According to officials, “A show-up with the witness was conducted, and the witness identified the detained individual as the intended target of the shooting.”

It is unclear if any additional charges are pending. A motive has not yet been released.
