An NYPD officer left his command post in South Jamaica to break up a brawl that started in a laundromat on Guy R. Brewer Boulevard last night. As he and other cops then returned to their post, the officer was reportedly hit in the cheek by a paintball shot from the windows of the Baisley Park Houses, according to officers. Take that, pigs! The officer suffered minor injuries (those things do sting), and is in stable condition, and is now presumably out until the next round.
