An accused knife-brandishing teen most definitely chose the wrong female to carjack over the weekend in Yonkers, New York.
Around 12:45 p.m. Sunday, police got a call requesting assistance at the Mobil gas station at 838 Kimball Avenue, police said.
The suspect will be charged with robbery in the first, second, and third degree, as well as fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and second-degree menacing, police said.
The call was from an off-duty New York state trooper.
An investigation revealed that when the off-duty trooper was done refueling her vehicle, a male approached her, brandished a knife, and entered the driver’s seat of her vehicle, police said.
While the trooper was off-duty, she sure wasn't unarmed — and as you might expect, she wasn't going to let the crook get away without a fight.
With that, the trooper fired one shot from her off-duty firearm, striking the suspect in the left arm — and the round continued into his torso, police said.
The suspect accelerated the vehicle toward the rear of the gas station, drove through a shed and fence at the end of the property, and then came to a stop in the parking lot of the adjacent apartment building at 1296 Midland Avenue, police said.
The suspect then fled from the stolen vehicle and ran toward Midland Avenue, police said.
However, Yonkers Police officers quickly located the suspect at the entrance to 1328 Midland Avenue and placed him into custody without incident, police said, adding that a knife was recovered from the suspect at the time of arrest.

Medical aid was rendered at the scene, and the suspect was transported to an area hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening gunshot wounds; he was in stable condition, police said.
The suspect is a 17-year-old Yonkers resident, police said.
The suspect will be charged with robbery in the first, second, and third degree, as well as fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and second-degree menacing, police said.
The Yonkers Police Department's Detective Division Major Case Squad is leading the criminal investigation while the New York State Police is conducting an internal review, police said.
As the trooper was the victim, police said no identifying information will be released about her other than she was a female off-duty state trooper assigned to Troop NYC.
A state police spokesman said the trooper is a 12-year veteran who suffered minor injuries in the incident and was treated at a hospital and released, according to the Rockland/Westchester Journal News.

Liberal Minnesota politicians are crafting legislation to bully cities and counties that continue to fly the old state flag in defiance of a new design.
The Minnesota House of Representatives passed a bill that would strip state funding from any local government that "flies or otherwise makes use of a state flag other than the design of the state flag as certified in the report of the State Emblems Redesign Commission."
'I've been a little disappointed in the cities around Minnesota that have been kind of manufacturing this culture war over this state flag.'
The new flag design was changed in 2023 by the State Emblems Redesign Commission after some critics said the previous design from 1893 was racist against Native Americans. It was officially adopted in 2024, but opponents of the new flag say it looks too much like a Somali state flag.
However, Republican state House Speaker Lisa Demuth says the bill will not make it past the state Senate.
"That bill is dead on arrival. There is no way this bill is moving through," she told CBS News. "To know that Democrats are trying to take funding away from our police ... it's ridiculous. We have real work that could help Minnesotans."
State Rep. Mike Freiberg, a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, is one of the authors of the legislation.
"I've been a little disappointed in the cities around Minnesota that have been kind of manufacturing this culture war over this state flag," Freiberg said. "I felt like it was important for there to kind of be a statement legislatively in support of the new state flag, which is the official state flag."
On Monday, the Inver Grove Heights City Council voted to fly the old design and joined Elk River, Champlin, Zumbrota, and Plainview in defiance of the new flag.
"The old flag is not only kind of boring but also kind of racist," Freiburg added.
"The seal depicts a Native American riding off into the sunset while a White settler plows his field with his rifle leaning on a nearby stump," reads a 2023 description of the old flag from the Associated Press. "The imagery suggests to many that the Indigenous people were defeated and going away, while whites won and were staying."

Demuth went on to say the vote of the commission didn't represent all Minnesotans.
"They felt as Minnesotans, they were disrespected in the process, and everyone I have talked to wants the old flag back or at least a choice in the matter," she added.
If the new legislation becomes law, it would be implemented in 2027.
