Authorities say New York City police officers shot and wounded a man who drew a gun on them in a Staten Island neighborhood.

NYPD officials say the officers were checking out reports of shots fired in the borough’s Charleston section around 1:10 a.m. Thursday when they were confronted by a 26-year-old man wearing a bulletproof vest. Police say the man drew a 9mm handgun then they opened fire and hit him several times.

He’s listed in stable condition at Staten Island University Hospital. The officers weren’t injured.

Police say a second man who ran into nearby woods during the encounter was later taken into custody. While searching the woods, police recovered a semi-automatic rifle, several spent shells and a large hunting knife.
