STONY BROOK, N.Y. (1010 WINS) -- A Long Island man was arrested after he shot and wounded his housemate with a crossbow at their home on Tuesday night, police said.

Xiaonan Sun, 36, was charged with assault in the second degree and was held overnight at the Sixth Precinct before his arraignment, according to Suffolk County police.


Police said Sun's housemate, James Nicosia, was talking with their landlord—who is Sun's mother—when Sun shot Nicosia with a crossbow just before 7 p.m. at their house on Hallock Road in Stony Brook.

Nicosia, 41, was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital in serious but stable condition. Sources told 1010 WINS that he was shot in his arm.

Police haven't released a possible motive.

Sun was scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Wednesday.
