He has a total of 17 prior arrests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">It all started when authorities say Worthy held up two stores &#8211; the Village Market and Grill at 164-01 Hillside Avenue and then a smoke shop at 92-18 Guy R Brewer Boulevard &#8212; firing a single shot with an illegal firearm during each of the robberies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Worthy ran away from police and fired at them, officials say. The officers fired back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Officer Rich Wong, a neighborhood coordination officer, and an innocent bystander were shot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Wong is a seven-year NYPD veteran who is assigned to the 103rd Precinct. He was shot in the thigh and was released from the hospital Wednesday morning to a clap-out from fellow officers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"oLzSq QrHMO fnRUo pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW RMeqy daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc MENS nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY rPLsU iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM IEgzD OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD VWDdR ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV GPGwb oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX \">\n<div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage GpQCA lZur asrEW \" data-testid=\"prism-inline-image\">\n<figure class=\"kzIjN GNmeK pYrtp dSqFO \" data-testid=\"prism-figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Officer Rich Wong rolled out of the emergency room entrance at Jamaica Hospital, his right leg propped up on a pillow, to the applause of fellow officers.\" class=\"hsDdd vBqtr KrDt itslR zFTjo hakZw HlUVI \" data-testid=\"prism-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.abcotvs.com\/dip\/images\/15563966_112024-wabc-nypd-officer-clapout-img.jpg\"\/><figcaption>\n<div class=\"nMMea bNYiy Mjgpa dGwha DDmxa jgKNG RGHCC aBIU PriDW lZur \" data-testid=\"prism-caption\">\n<p><span class=\"hsDdd OOSI GpQCA lZur VlFaz \" data-testid=\"prism-truncate\"><span><span class=\"gtOSm FbbUW tUtYa vOCwz EQwFq yCufu eEak Qmvg nyTIa SRXVc vzLa jgBfc WXDas CiUCW kqbG zrdEG txGfn ygKVe BbezD UOtxr CVfpq xijV soGRS XgdC sEIlf daWqJ \">Officer Rich Wong rolled out of the emergency room entrance at Jamaica Hospital, his right leg propped up on a pillow, to the applause of fellow officers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">A 26-year-old female bystander was shot in the leg after leaving the Target on Jamaica Avenue. A forensic investigation will determine if she was struck by the same bullet that hit Wong, or if she was hit by a ricochet. She was behind Wong and his partner at the time they engaged the suspect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The big question now is why Worthy was out on the streets with his violent criminal past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">He is also suspected in three recent gunpoint robberies, with a warrant issued for his arrest last Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">His last arrest was last Wednesday for possession of felony narcotics and resisting arrest. He was arraigned and released on his own recognizance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Worthy was wanted for three additional gunpoint robberies at Queens businesses that occurred between Oct. 31 and Nov. 15. A single shot was fired during each of those robberies, with Worthy generally firing a round at the start of the robbery to gain compliance from the employees and customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">In 2008, he was arrested for attempted criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a controlled substance and burglary. He served 12 years at Otisville Correctional Facility and was released on lifetime parole in November 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">In 1994, he was charged with murder and pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;He was arrested seven consecutive times and he was never remanded, he was never held in, why? Why on Earth would he be afraid to shoot a New York City police officer because he knew he had been arrested 17 times and he didn&#8217;t think anything would happen to him,&#8221; said PBA President Patrick Hendry.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"vPZug ZqdKL oPAle xcLAU bunQU uhXXI PjNjV lNbol LBPRq\">ALSO READ | <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/post\/surveillance-video-shows-car-plow-brooklyn-sidewalk-narrowly-missing-pedestrians\/15557573\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Surveillance video shows car fly down Brooklyn sidewalk<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"oLzSq QrHMO fnRUo pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW RMeqy daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc MENS nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY rPLsU iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM IEgzD OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD VWDdR ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV GPGwb oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX \">\n<div class=\"WrapperInlineVideo\">\n<div class=\"VideoCaption nMMea bNYiy Mjgpa dGwha DDmxa jgKNG RGHCC aBIU eEzcu lZur \" data-testid=\"prism-caption\">\n<p><span class=\"hsDdd OOSI GpQCA lZur VlFaz \" data-testid=\"prism-truncate\"><span><span class=\"gtOSm FbbUW tUtYa vOCwz EQwFq yCufu eEak Qmvg nyTIa SRXVc vzLa jgBfc WXDas CiUCW kqbG zrdEG txGfn ygKVe BbezD UOtxr CVfpq xijV soGRS XgdC sEIlf daWqJ \">Sonia Rincon has details on the frightening crash in East Flatbush.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">* <strong class=\"vtkaO\"><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/queens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Queens news<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">* <strong class=\"vtkaO\"><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/7ny.tv\/submitnewstip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Send us a news tip<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">* <strong class=\"vtkaO\"><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the abc7NY app for breaking news alerts<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">*<strong class=\"vtkaO\"><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCrlIS7z20CnVaCrMvdkig_g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Follow us on YouTube<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"RxNCg ykkUm PvZ nIjPJ PMXYp LmsHF SfAHY mNgye lNbol LBPRq\">Submit a tip or story idea to Eyewitness News<\/h2>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover?
