The officer remains in critical condition at Brookdale Hospital.
NYPD and Clarkstown police officers tracked down and arrested the suspect at a Days Inn in Nanuet. A car has also been towed from the scene.
Earlier on Monday, the NYPD was offering a $10,000 reward for anyone who could aid in the investigation of this shooting. NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell posted the reward information to Twitter on Monday morning.
