Police say an incident at Harlem Hospital that ended with the shooting of a police officer this morning could have been a lot worse.
Police say it started at 4:55 a.m. when police received a 911 call about an emotionally disturbed man throwing bottles and attacking people around 117th Street and Lexington Avenue.
