A rookie NYPD cop with just three months on the force was shot in the leg on Wednesday during an altercation in Queens, cops said.

Officer Brett Boller, 22, was struck by gunfire when a suspect opened fire while attempting to evade arrest on 161st St. near Jamacia Avenue at around 3:30 p.m., according to police.

The ruckus began when the suspect was riding on an MTA bus that was flagged down by police for unknown reasons.

Once the bus stopped, the suspect attempted to flee the scene and fired on police, striking Boller.

The officer was taken to Jamaica Hospital where he was listed in stable condition.

One person is believed to be in custody but it was not clear if that person was the shooter, sources said. Cops were still searching for two other suspects on Wednesday.

Boller, of the 103rd precinct, was assigned to the Jamacia Business District to help stem the surge in shoplifting, sources said.
