STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A 40-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly pointed a gun at a victim and barricaded himself inside a home in Mariners Harbor, according to police.

Malcolm Walters was arrested on Tuesday at about 3:10 p.m. in the vicinity of his home on Bush Avenue near Richmond Terrance, according to a spokeswoman for the NYPD’s Deputy Commissioner of Public Information.

A 27-year-old woman told police that she had a dispute with Walters that turned physical. She accused the suspect of putting his arms around her neck and head. When a 56-year-old male tried to intervene, Walters allegedly pointed a firearm at him. A 17-year-old girl was present during the incident, according to police.

Officers recovered a loaded, 9 mm gun from Walters, the police spokeswoman said.

Police charged Walters with criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of stolen property, criminal obstruction of breathing, possession of large capacity ammunition, menacing, obstructing governmental administration and harassment.

The 121st Precinct attached a photo of Officers Moussa and Barbee who, with the help of a K-9 dog, allegedly found the 9 mm handgun and three bullets.
