EAST GREENBUSH -- Authorities say the taxi passenger who exchanged fire with state police and wounded on a highway outside Albany is a 22-year-old from Connecticut.

According to State Police, Darryl O. Brown, of Hartford, remains in critical condition Sunday at Albany Medical Center.

Brown was the sole passenger in a taxi he hired to take him from Hartford to an undisclosed location in the greater Albany area. Troopers say the cab was stopped on Interstate 90 in suburban East Greenbush shortly before noon Saturday for speeding, and Brown opened fire with an assault rifle on the trooper who was interviewing the driver and him.

Authorities say the trooper got the driver to safety. More police came, and Brown was shot multiple times.
