Police officers fatally shot a man who held up a Bushwick grocery store on Sunday morning after he pointed what turned out to be an imitation pistol at them, according to police.

The trouble began just before 12:40 a.m. on Feb. 19, when the unidentified man allegedly held up the Garden Deli located at 185 Starr St. NYPD Chief of Patrol Terence Monahan said the perpetrator displayed a weapon during the stickup.

After he fled, officers from the 83rd Precinct were called to the scene. Witnesses provided a sergeant and two police officers with a description of the perpetrator.
