(November 16, 2008)—A suspect was in custody Sunday after gunfire erupted and mayhem ensued during a robbery attempt at New York’s famed Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
It happened Saturday at a jewelry store in the lobby.
A security guard was shot in the chest, but is expected to survive.
Authorities say the mayhem began when the 20-year-old robber, who was wearing a black tracksuit, pulled out a gun in the jewelry store and used the weapon to smash two display cases full of expensive rings and necklaces
The security guard, a retired detective, confronted the man.
At least three gunshots rang out as the two wrestled and fell to the floor, although it was not immediately clear who fired.
Another hotel employee then tackled the suspect and security staffers arrived and took the suspect into custody.
