Good Samaritans assist NYPD in taking down armed suspects in Manhattan.

A civilian helped stop an armed suspect who was fleeing from police officers in New York City. The suspect, Jason Fleming, was arrested after he brandished loaded firearms in broad daylight after a dispute in a bodega in Chelsea. The civilian stepped in his way and pushed him into a nearby fence, holding onto him until NYPD officers were able to place him under arrest. Fleming was not permitted to possess firearms due to prior felony convictions for unlawful firearms possession. He is charged with possession of firearms after a felony conviction, which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
