NextImg:New photos show ‘armed and dangerous’ suspect in shooting of NYPD cop Brett Boller

New photos released by the NYPD show the “armed and dangerous” suspect who they believe shot a Queens rookie cop in the leg Wednesday. 

The images – released hours after the 3:30 p.m. shooting at Jamaica Avenue and East 161st Street – show the suspect wearing a black winter coat over a red hoodie, and a black mask.

He also has a distinctive tattoo on his left hand, with the name “Jocelyn.” 

Officer Brett Boller, 22, was struck when the gunman opened fire while attempting to evade arrest, according to police.

The suspect allegedly first brandished a gun on an MTA bus – and then rushed off the bus when Boller and his partner responded and tried to get on board. 

The gunman ran past the cops and fled the scene, but didn’t make it far before Boller caught up and tussled with the man.

The suspect whipped out a gun and shot Boller once in the right hip.

His partner — who also has less than a year on the job — fired two return shots, though it’s not clear if the suspect was struck.

The gunman was still on the loose Thursday.

At least five cops grabbed the rookie off the ground and raced to put him in the back of an NYPD van.

The officer was taken to Jamaica Hospital where he was undergoing surgery, and remained there Thursday morning.

Mayor Eric Adams blamed the rampant use of guns on city streets during a Wednesday evening press conference at Jamaica Hospital.

“The proliferation of guns and too many people are willing to use it repeatedly,” Adams said.

“And that is why the extreme recidivists must be identified and removed from our streets. When you could display a weapon over a dispute on the bus, that says a lot that is why we are continuing to remove these guns off our streets.”

Multiple officers swarmed the wounded cop and placed a tourniquet on his leg.
