David Jarvis, 16, of Jamaica was charged with attempted robbery and will be arraigned at First District Court in Hempstead on Tuesday.

Fifth Squad detectives say that Jarvis and 18-year-old Willie Watkins tried to rob the officer while the victim was sitting in his automobile near Locustwood Boulevard when one of the two alleged robbers, armed with a knife, pulled open the driver’s side door and attempted to carjack the victim.

The officer fired a shot from his service weapon and struck Watkins in the shoulder. Both suspects fled the scene on foot and Watkins was apprehended shortly after at a local hospital.
