Two police officers are recovering and two suspects are now in custody after the plain clothes officers from the 46^th Precinct approached a pair of suspects wanted for an armed robbery. 

A day after NYPD police officer Wenjian Liu, a victim of an assassination by a deranged Brooklyn man, was laid to rest, the pair was wounded after they responded to a call of a robbery in progress at a deli along Webster Avenue.

After a one day manhunt, the NYPD nabbed Jason Polanco of 2639 Decatur Avenue, charging him with attempted of a police officer, attempted murder, robbery, criminal possession of a weapon and assault. His alleged accomplice, 28-year-old Joshua Kemp, lives in Parkchester.

On Jan. 5, the plainclothes officers responded to a robbery in progress at a deli onWebster Avenue at 10:23 p.m. One suspect ducked into a Chinese restaurant at East 183 Street and Tiebout Avenue, when the shooting erupted.

Officials say the 30 year-old male officer was hit in the lower back and left arm and was reported to be in surgery in the wee hours of Jan. 6. The unidentified officer was listed in critical, but later updated to serious, but stable condition.

The second wounded officer is a 38 year-old male who was shot in the chest and left arm and remains in stable condition at the same hospital and was expected to be released Wednesday.

Officials say that after the gun battle, one suspect carjacked a white Chevy Camaro– that crashed on Park Avenue. Dozens of uniformed officers were brought in to canvas the area for the suspect. Metro-North and New York State Police were also called in to assist in the manhunt.

Police would later recover the .45 caliber handgun tossed in a construction site at Fordham Plaza.

Dozens of officers were brought to the area in vans as they shutdown bus service across Fordham Road and briefly halted train service out of the Fordham Road Metro North Station.

Detectives would discover a second vehicle involved, a Nissan Altima outside of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan and quickly began questioning a man being treated for a gunshot wound to the back.

Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton paid a late-night visit to the officers at the hospital.

Bratton briefed reporters on one officer’s condition, saying, “He is currently in the operating room and is listed in critical condition.”

Polanco is known by the local 52nd Precinct as a local troublemaker, according to officers.
