<p>Early Tuesday morning May 2 the sound of gunfire startled nearby passersby and business owners in the vicinity of Henry and Market streets.  According to sources the gunplay was a result of an argument between 2 groups of people not of the neighborhood.  It seems a man and his female companion got into a verbal dispute with 2 other males which turned physical when one of the pair of males struck the woman.  The woman's companion went to defend her when one of the males drew a firearm and starting shooting.  The male victim was struck in the chest with a non-life threatening Injury.  A Hispanic male was arrested and a 9mm handgun was recovered by officers of the NYPD 5th Pct who were nearby.   </p>
