The New York City Police Department (NYPD) on Thursday shared body-camera video that appears to show an officer tackling a 15-year-old boy accused of opening fire in Brooklyn.

In a video posted to X, police could be seen chasing a teen down a Brooklyn sidewalk and quickly removing a gun from his hip-area. 

The 15-year-old is charged with criminal possession of a loaded gun, criminal possession of a loaded gun near a school, and criminal possession of a gun.

NYPD officials told Fox News the incident happened just before 5 p.m. Saturday after dispatchers received a 911 call for shots fired in the 67 Precinct. 

Once officers arrived, they learned a boy had allegedly shot at another person.

Once spotted by law enforcement, the teen took off, leading officers on a chase down the street.

“A show up with the witness was conducted, and the witness identified the apprehended subject as the intended target of the shooting,” officials said.

It is unclear if any additional charges are pending. A motive has not yet been released.
