Make that one less gun in the wrong hands in Brooklyn.
Two 83rd Precinct police officers, Ramon Portillo and Marvin Luis, chased down and arrested a Bushwick man armed with a loaded Smith & Wesson handgun Sunday night.
According to NYPD spokesperson Detective Kellyann Ort, the officers responded to a 911 call of a dispute with a firearm in front of 437 Bleecker St. in Bushwick. The caller provided a detailed description of the suspect, Ort said.
Upon arrival, officers Portillo and Luis saw a male fitting the description and observed him tucking a firearm into his waistband. As the two officers approached him he fled, but the officers chased him inside a residential building at 439 Bleecker Street, where they apprehended him.
