Massachusetts state police have identified the Manchester teen they claim stabbed one of their troopers multiple times last Friday afternoon before being shot after a car chase across three states.
Massachusetts State Police said Sunday night that Nghia Le, 18, of Manchester remains hospitalized at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester after being shot following an alleged attack on a Massachusetts state trooper in New Salem, Mass.
Le is facing charges of armed assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and is being held on $1 million bail pending his arraignment sometime early this week. The time and location of the arraignment has yet to be determined, state police said.
Massachusetts State Police said the injured trooper remains hospitalized as well, but is in stable condition and good spirits, according to a statement. The troopers identity has not been released. According to a Massachusetts state police spokesman, the injured trooper is 47 years old, assigned to the Athol, Mass., barracks and has been on the force since 2006.
First Assistant Northwestern District Attorney Steven Gagne told reporters last week that when officers tried to take Le into custody after his stolen car became disabled, he attacked the state trooper with a knife.
The trooper sustained multiple stab wounds to his head, neck, shoulder and arms, officials said.
Another trooper then pulled up and fired into the cruiser, hitting the attacker, officials said. Le suffered a gunshot wound to the torso.
According to police scanner reports, Le was first spotted in Hillsborough driving erratically late Friday morning, then involved in a crash in Walpole before car-jacking a silver Toyota Camry, state police said.
Local and state law enforcement officials then pursued Le on Interstate 91 into Vermont and then south into Massachusetts, officials said.
After entering Massachusetts, the pursuit continued for about half an hour before the man lost control of the car and crashed it in New Salem when the violent assault took place, officials said.
“Teen”
God bless these courageous first responder officers whose loved ones never know which day is a normal work day and which is the day the officer never again comes home.
By the way, Obama was close pals with the BLM War on Cops leaders who wanted “pigs fried liked bacon in a blanket” and he invited them back to the White House and hugged them on camera. What a despicable thing to do while officers were ambushed (as 3 in a New York patrol car) and shot in the back in other states after fake trouble calls.
Nghia Le huh? Probably a good Irish ☘️ guy from Boston. /S
“teen”
Probably his mother will say he was mostly a good boy, except while he was trying to maim and kill someone. Then not so good.
This is so outside my experience with Asians. Here in southwest Missouri they all either work at a Chinese restaurant or kick everyone’s ass in mathematics at the nearby university. Criminal behavior is something you just don’t see.
Of Manchester?
Really?
Yes, "teen" alright. More specifically per article: "Manchester teen".
That is sort of like "Minnesota man", as in "Minnesota man arrested in terrorist plot".
Yes, Nghia Le, wasn't he named after one of the characters in Robert Frost's poems in "North of Boston"? Good yankee stock.
Some work at the poultry processing plants too, alongside the Hispanics, Somalis/North Africans, and Pacific Islanders.
Yeah. Maybe he thought he was going to play for Manchester United, and took a wrong turn, and ended up in Manchester, UNITED States instead. So, maybe he thought he would show those Yankee Doodle Dandies a thing or two. 👎 What a chump.
Originally probably one of the Cambos from Lowell or Lawrence. How did they find their way there, I wonder?
Is that name Chinese? Or is it Cambodian?
