Suffolk police say an officer shot and injured a man who became combative following a report of a burglary in Patchogue early Monday morning.

Police say they received a call around 2:15 a.m. about a suspect involved in a commercial burglary. They say an off-duty officer who was driving home saw a man fitting the suspect's description walking on Waverly Avenue near East Third Street.

The officer, who was still in uniform, approached the man, who officials say became combative and began assaulting the officer.
