The shooting is under investigation. === A 36-year-old man was shot in Brooklyn on Tuesday by a New York City police officer who was trying to take him into custody over a suspected assault, the authorities said. The man’s injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. Officers found the man, who had a warrant for his arrest, shortly before 9 a.m. near Marcy and Vernon Avenues in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, where he was sitting in a car, the police said. A police spokesman, citing preliminary information, said an officer shot the man, who was in the parked car, striking him once in the left arm. The man then fled in the car and made it almost a mile, to the intersection of Tompkins and Gates Avenues, where he was taken into custody. The shooting is under investigation, and it is unclear what prompted the officer to open fire or why the man stopped his car. The man, whose name has not been released, was taken to New York Methodist Hospital, where he was in stable condition, the police said.
