Police have arrested the man wanted in a pharmacy robbery in East Harlem.

The New York City Police Department says Luis Hiraldo was taken into custody in Rhode Island this morning.

Charges against him are pending.

Police released a surveillance image of Hiraldo shortly after the incident at the RX Center on 119th and First Avenue on April 12.

Pharmacy workers said he walked into the drug store along with Rudolph Wyatt, 23, flashing a gun and demanding Oxycontin and Percocet.

Police say Wyatt exchanged gunfire with officers when he tried to escape.

A retired police lieutenant, who saw the scene, opened fire on Wyatt, killing him.
