A teenage Venezuelan illegal immigrant has been arrested for allegedly shooting two New York Police Department officers after they attempted to stop him while he was riding a scooter.
The two officers were patrolling the 115th precinct to address enduring robberies in the area involving perpetrators on mopeds and scooters when they spotted 19-year-old Bernardo Raul Castro-Mata driving a moped the wrong way down a street at 89th Street and 23rd Avenue in Elmhurst at about 1:40 a.m.
