Police in Brooklyn<\/a> opened fire on a teenage suspect who went on a wild rampage of armed robberies and carjackings before trying to run cops down with a stolen vehicle in the borough on Tuesday night, it was reported.<\/p>\n

According to police sources, the crime spree began at about 7:40 p.m. on Sept. 8, when officers responded to a 911 call reporting an attempted gunpoint robbery outside a fast-food restaurant at 1624 East 16th St. in Midwood. Authorities said two teenage suspects allegedly displayed a firearm and attempted to rob a 24-year-old man, but the victim managed to flee.<\/p>\n

Minutes later, cops reported that the armed duo allegedly approached a 23-year-old man sitting inside his vehicle outside 1478 East 15th St., pulled him from the car at gunpoint, and drove away in the stolen vehicle.<\/p>\n

Officers located the stolen car about an hour later after it had been involved in a collision within the confines of the 69th Precinct<\/a> based in Canarsie. There, police arrested a 16-year-old boy and charged him with criminal possession of stolen property and obstructing governmental administration. <\/p>\n

His alleged accomplice, however, remained at large.

A short time later, police reported, the second suspect carjacked a 54-year-old woman as she sat inside her vehicle outside 2060 Kimball St. in Marine Park, allegedly pulling her from the car before fleeing toward East 100th Street and Avenue K.<\/p>\n

At about 8:39 p.m. Tuesday night, officers from the 69th Precinct located the stolen vehicle and attempted to stop the driver blocking the roadway. Authorities said the driver instead veered onto a sidewalk and drove toward an officer, prompting the cop to fire a shot. The suspect was not struck.<\/p>\n

The driver continued fleeing before crashing the vehicle near Pennsylvania and Wortman Avenues in East New York, where officers took him into custody.\n<\/p>\n

Charges against the second teen were pending Wednesday as the investigation remained ongoing.\n<\/p>\n

The NYPD\u2019s Force Investigation Division is investigating the police shooting.\n<\/p>\n
