Man Shot inside Burger King Restaurant: NYPD

A man who opened fire inside a Burger King restaurant in the Bronx, wounding a customer, is in police custody after he tried to carjack a minivan with a teen and child inside, police say. 

The suspect didn't get far, police say -- the minivan driver wouldn't let him in, and the suspect ended up running about a block before he was caught. 

Police say the shooting victim's arm was grazed by a bullet inside the fast-food eatery near East Burnside and Jerome Avenue just after 2 p.m. 

The 43-year-old victim chased the shooter, who tried to carjack a Honda Odyssey, according to police. An 18-year-old man and a 2-year-old boy were inside the vehicle, but no one was hurt since they wouldn't let the suspect in. 

The 36-year-old suspect is in police custody. 

The shooting victim was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, FDNY says.
