Prosecution of charges against Brooklyn men deferred in Waldorf Astoria gunfire
The prosecution of charges in a gunfire incident at the famous Waldorf Astoria hotel is being put on hold while the investigation continues, a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney said Sunday.
The New York Police Department had said earlier in the day that a man had been arrested after a gun in his pocket went off Saturday night, injuring four people. Another man had also been arrested.
“Prosecution of this case is deferred while the investigation continues into the circumstances surrounding the discharge of the firearm and its removal from the scene,” said Patrick Muncie, spokesman for Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance.
