Cops are looking for the two men they say got into a scuffle on an East Village subway platform Monday, resulting in one of them firing off a gun.
According to authorities, at around 2:10 a.m. on July 10, two unknown suspects engaged in a physical dispute on the southbound L train side of the 1st Avenue station near 14th Street. During the fight, cops say, one of the men discharged a firearm.
While no injuries were reported, authorities are still looking for the trigger-happy straphanger.
Both suspects are described by police as men with medium complexions and builds who were last seen wearing black clothing. A third individual — a female who was in the company of one of the men — is also being sought for questioning. Cops describe the woman as having a light complexion, a medium build, brown hair, last seen wearing a black t-shirt, black shorts and eyeglasses.
