The officer,
assigned to Mayor Bill de Blasio's security team, was struck in
the back and was treated for minor injuries before being
released from a local hospital, a police spokesman said in a
statement.
De Blasio was not at the residence, Gracie Mansion, at the time
of the incident. Two people were taken into custody nearby and
were being questioned.
Authorities said there have been two previous reports of
apparent BBs or pellets causing damage to windows in the area,
on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
