At a bit before 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon, shots were fired on West 75th Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue. An NYPD spokesperson tells us the incident location was recorded as 23 West 75th Street, and confirmed that there were three suspects involved.
Sources told CBS News that the suspects shot at a man in a Rolls-Royce, and that bullets pierced the window of at least one SUV.
Police pursued the three suspects and stopped them at West 106th Street and the West Side Highway. In the midst of an ensuing foot chase, one of the suspects fired a gun at the police, though there were no reported injuries resulting from the incident. Police apprehended all three suspects and recovered two firearms.
A Citizen video shows a police car at the scene of the arrest.
Three Shooting Suspects Taken Into Custody in Riverside Park @CitizenApp

Thank you Upper West Side Police for responding so quickly! We love you patrolling our neighborhood and keeping us safe!
That’s it? That’s the whole story?! Citizen app reported same in real time! (Which is where the video you shared was posted 26 hours ago.) I heard helicopters for hours.
Were the suspects detained or released?
Motive for shooting?
A full day later, I’d hoped for more information or an update. Isn’t this a NEWS-letter?

That Rolls-Royce has been spotted parked illegally on 75th and 76th Streets between Columbus and CPW a lot in the last few weeks. Very odd. This feels suspiciously like a targeted hit or a drug deal gone wrong. Wait and see.
Just a thought…..no one with a license and registration proving that they own that Rolls is going to illegally park it “a lot” and risk it being towed and banged up in the process.
My point? Sounds like a stolen vehicle whoever might have owned it originally, be they plastic surgeon, drug lord or mob boss. That part of the story doesn’t make sense on any level.
The thing is, it never stayed in one spot for long.
Was anyone killed? What was the motive?
This story is frustrating. It’s not even a story, really. Come on.
Yes. Gunfire on the UWS in the middle of the day is no longer a story.
I believe this man that was Shot was Alben Sagan the man lives at 15 West 75 Street. He pays off the Traffic agent not to get tickets at the fire hydrant. . He ripped off Lee powers of her real estate of at least $100 million. And according to your publications he’s in the witness protection program.
Yes, if you read Alben Sagan’s very shady background, he seems like just the type to bamboozle an elderly woman into giving him 90% of her many millions. No wonder people are shooting at him!

This was the 3rd attempt to kill Lamin Vucetovic (AKA) Lenny.https://nypost.com/2021/10/05/nyc-man-shot-while-sitting-in-car-on-upper-west-side/
His father is Alben Sagan (AKA) his birth name which was changed to Alben when he entered the witness protection program. https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160920/upper-west-side/how-mob-informant-who-left-witness-protection-got-100m-from-widow/
The family of Lee power said that he used undue influence on her and that the will leaving him 90% of her estate was a fraud. There has been major litigation in the circuit courts regarding this and most recently there is litigation in the supreme court from a legitimate real estate landlord who apparently has a contract to purchase the remaining buildings.
That is Hal these people who are constantly getting shots and parking in front of fire hydrants got to the neighborhood.
