		</div><p>A man has been arrested after two New Orleans police officers were shot in the city’s French Quarter in what the police chief described as an “ambush” by a suspect travelling in a pedicab.</p>
<p>The officers were on routine patrol in the popular tourist area when they were ambushed and fired upon by a man traveling as a passenger in a pedicab, Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said at a news conference near the scene. It was unknown how many shots were fired, he said.</p>
<p>Mr Ferguson said one officer was shot below the eye in the left cheek, lodging a bullet in his skull.</p>
<p>The officer was listed in a serious but stable condition on Friday, while the other officer suffered minor abrasions to an arm.</p>
<p>“This is a dark day for our officers and I ask that you keep them in your prayers,” Mr Ferguson said.</p>
<p>Both officers were taken to hospital by other officers who responded to the scene, he added.</p>
<p>The suspect was apprehended by other responding officers and was also transported to a hospital because of an unknown medical condition, the superintendent said. A gun was found at the scene.</p>

<p>“Our officers did not discharge any weapons in this incident,” Mr Ferguson said, adding that the suspect “was not physically harmed”.</p>
<p>“Our officers didn’t have any engagement with this individual,” he said.</p>
<p>“They were going in different directions and as he crossed the intersection he began to fire on our officers.”</p>
<p>Mr Ferguson said his department is working to identify the suspect, who refused to provide his name or any other information.</p>
<p>The officers’ names were not immediately released.</p>
