TROY — Broadway Brew Biergarten, which retooled its image after being temporarily shut down by the city due to violence and underage drinking, was the scene early Sunday of an investigation after a man threatened to start shooting people, police said.

Troy Police Capt. John Cooney said police received a 911 call around 3 a.m. from a woman who said she was at Broadway Brew, 254 Broadway, and allegedly heard a man make the threat. When police arrived, they found the suspect walking east on Third Street.

The man, identified by police as Jallah E. McCall, 21 of Troy, ran and allegedly threw a handgun onto a roof during the foot chase with police. He was eventually apprehended and charged with second- and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Cooney said it was unclear whether the 911 caller was inside the Broadway bar when she heard the man's alleged threats or outside. But it appears to be the first time police have had to come to the bar since it was reopened in May.

The Broadway Brew Pub and Grille was ordered to close for two months starting in March after a stabbing occurred outside in November, followed by a brawl, disorderly conduct calls and a bartender being charged with serving alcohol to minors. Troy Deputy Mayor Peter Ryan handed down the ruling as the city's nuisance-abatement officer. Six Troy police officers testified at the Feb. 15 hearing.

The bar was renovated, the menu was changed and the place was given a new name. Ken Sherman, a new co-owner with original owner Kareem Jandali, said the changes have been working. Previously, the bar had been leaning more toward a nightclub status. He said that late Saturday night, there was a birthday party in a back room attended by 50 people, and a disc jockey playing Top 40 tunes, "music you'd likely hear at a wedding," Sherman said.

"We're really being strict," Sherman said. "We have a sign outside that clearly states 'No hats, no hoodies, no baggy pants.'" Sherman said he reviewed all the bar's security tapes and didn't see any questionable characters or activity from early Sunday.

In an another early morning incident unrelated to the Broadway Brew, shots rang out on nearby on Second Street between State and Broadway.

Officers rushed to the area and questioned five people, Cooney said. Officers found fresh shell casings and what appeared to be a small amount of blood.

A search ensued, and a handgun was found hidden inside the wheel well of a car parked in the vicinity. But police said whoever was injured has not been found, and there is no evidence that anyone has gone to a local hospital for treatment. No one has been arrested in relation to the Second Street shooting.
