Arthur Jones, 38, who is considered armed and dangerous, is wanted for the incident that happened on Sunday, May 12 in which the officer was assaulted and disarmed, police previously said.
Yusef "Duke" Coleman had previously been arrested in the West Oxford Street incident, police said, while one woman was wanted for questioning.
According to police, off-duty police officer was heading westbound on Oxford Avenue when he became stuck in traffic behind another vehicle. After waiting through several red lights, the officer honked his horn.
A male, identified as "Duke," approached the off-duty officer and punched him in the face while the officer was still seated in the vehicle. The officer then exited his vehicle and identified himself as a police officer; "Duke" produced a tan-colored firearm and held it down to his side, authorities said.
A struggle ensued between "Duke" and the officer and during that time, another male suspect, later identified as Yusef Coleman, approached the officer from behind and placed him in a headlock. Coleman was armed, and a struggle over his firearm ensued, with the officer managing to push the weapon away. During the struggle, the magazine fell out of the firearm and the officer discharged the remaining round. No one was struck by the gunfire, authorities said.
"Duke" then pointed a gun at the officer and demanded he release the weapon. The officer was subsequently beaten by multiple assailants and his personal weapon was stolen from its holster, according to police.
A responding on-duty officer arrived at the scene, causing the crowd and suspects to disperse. Coleman fled the scene in a black BMW, striking the off-duty's leg. He was later apprehended by police, according to PPD.
The firearm was recovered by police on May 14.
