TROY — Police shot a 22-year-old city resident in his car Tuesday night after they recognized him as a parole absconder and pulled him over in the North Central neighborhood, Chief John Tedesco said.

Dahmeek McDonald of Troy was shot twice in the torso at 6:40 p.m. at 408 Eighth St. and he is expected to fully recover, Tedesco said at a 10:45 p.m. news conference at the police station.

Four officers responded to the traffic stop, Tedesco said, but he did not say who shot McDonald for whom a warrant had been issued.

No officers were injured in the incident.

There was a passenger in the car, the chief said, but he provided no other details about McDonald or the incident, which will be investigated by the city police department.

An initial online report, which quoted a woman who said she witnessed the incident, stated the man was killed. Police soon clarified that he had been wounded and was taken to Albany Medical Center Hospital where detectives were interviewing him.

Earlier, officers carrying riot shields lined up at the corner of Eighth and Rensselaer streets. A crowd of about 75 people was shouting at police. Deputy Chief Richard "Buddy" McAvoy spoke to the group in an attempt to to ease the tensions.

Bishop Norman R. Macklin of New Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church said the situation was tense. It's calming down, but people are angry. A few are agitating the crowd," said Macklin, who was wearing a jacket with the word "Clergy" on the back.

Tedesco, Rensselaer County District Attorney Joel Abelove and Assistant District Attorney Andrew Botts were at the scene.

In March 2016 McDonald had led police on a car chase from Troy and jumped off the Dunn Memorial Bridge. Police pursued the car with McDonald and two companions going the wrong way on Interstate 787 and through residential areas of Albany before the car crashed into a guardrail on the bridge over the Hudson River. McDonald jumped off a railing and was injured.

Police said he was carrying crack cocaine. He pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was sentenced to four years in state prison.

On Tuesday night, Albany police were creating a three-dimensional model of the area using laser technology.

Other agencies helping to secure the scene included State Police and Watervliet police and Troy Housing Authority public safety officers.

Assistant Police Chief George Van Bramer said, "When anyone gets hurt, it's unfortunate."This is the third officer-involved shooting in Troy in two years.

In August 2015, Officers Joshua Comitale and Chad Klein exchanged gunfire with Thaddeus Faison on 112th Street in Lansingburgh. The officers were seriously wounded. Faison died as a result of his injuries. A grand jury cleared the officers of any wrongdoing.

In April 2016, Edson Thevenin of Watervliet was fatally shot by Sgt. Randall French after authorities said he fled a traffic stop on the Collar City Bridge. A grand jury declined to indict French.
