Some of the students in the center could also be heard pleading with Peters to give up, and at least one implored the police not to fire. But Peters kept coming until Officer Roberto Pagan fired a single shot that hit Peters in the stomach — and ended the drama on Eastern Parkway.

Peters was so close to Pagan that he nearly toppled onto the officer, sources said.

Rosenblatt, 22, was rushed to the trauma unit at Kings County Hospital and was later transferred to Bellevue Hospital, where he was in critical condition with bleeding on the brain.

NY Doctor Who Treated Ebola Patients in West Africa Tests Positive-- Rushed To Bellevue Hospital

By Rocco Parascandola, Tina Moore, Corky Seimaszko, Oct. 23, 2014, Nydailynews.com

A Harlem doctor who treated Ebola patients in West Africa before returning to New York last week tested positive Thursday for the deadly disease — the first such diagnosis in the city.

Dr. Craig Spencer, 33, was hauled to Bellevue Hospital in a protective suit with symptoms of the illness. Officials said his temperature was normal when he landed at Kennedy Airport a week ago, on Oct. 17. But it spiked to 103 degrees by early Thursday, and he had diarrhea.

Three others — Spencer's fiancée and two friends — have also been quarantined but have shown no symptoms, according to Dr. Mary Travis Bassett, commissioner of the city’s Health Department.

FDNY hazardous-materials specialists sealed off Spencer’s apartment on W. 147th St. in Harlem’s Hamilton Heights and took the doctor out on a stretcher.

Spencer’s test results were publicly released about 8:30 p.m.

But at 6:20 p.m., the city Health Department sent out an urgent request to all New York area hospitals to see if any had “the following drug: Brincidofovir made by Chimerix.”
