A Manhattan parking garage attendant who was shot twice while confronting an alleged thief — then wrestled the gun away and opened fire on the suspect — has been charged with attempted murder, police and sources said.
The overnight worker, identified by cops as Moussa Diarra, 57, was also hit with assault and criminal possession of a weapon charge in the Saturday incident, which unfolded around 5:30 a.m. as the attendant saw a man peering into cars on the second floor of the West 31st Street garage, the sources said.
Believing the man was stealing, the attendant brought him outside and asked what was inside his bag.
Instead of cooperating, the man pulled out a gun, the sources said.
Diarra tried to grab for the weapon, and it went off — leaving him shot in the stomach and grazed in the ear by a bullet before he turned the firearm on the would-be thief and shot him in the chest, sources said.
The charges against Diarra sparked outrage — and recalled the case of Manhattan bodega clerk Jose Alba, who was charged with murder after a fatal July 1 confrontation in his store with an angry customer who came behind his counter and accosted him.

Democrats are evil scum.
That makes it a “hate crime”
I’ve read headlines like that my entire adult life. There have always been perverters of law in the system, their purpose being to frustrate and demoralize the LAW ABIDING.
If this article is accurate, Bragg is just flaunting his power and baiting us to try and do something about it.
Punish the innocent, reward the guilty... it’s the Democrat-Communist way.
We are also evidently supposed to buy the notion that if somebody shoots you and you take their gun from them, you are “in criminal possession of a gun.”
I dont understand how we continue to let Soros and other foreigners influence our politics. I think several other counties have already stooped that nonsense.
The Libs on fake news made a big show about how Bragg never met Soros, but who cares? They admitted he financed Bragg through an intermediary.
He shouted “this is maga country!” Before pulling the trigger
Send them a letter detailing why you will never go there. Businesses are getting pissed at their government in New York.
That same DA is a weaponized Black man
Crime is now legal in Madhattan.
Stay out of New York
Let me guess. The actual thief was released without being charged.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
Not only are you not allowed to defend yourself, you're criminally charged if you disarm your assailant........
The charging DA needs to be pistol whipped.
Let me guess. The perp is black. The garage attendant is white.
I hate this city and it should be nuked. I can’t leave fast enough.
The left will convict the fella because he “shot an unarmed attacker” who was, in their twisted liberal minds, “unarmed and defenseless after his gun was taken from him.”
Liberals are destroying this nation-
Me too. I’m 69, never once been there and at my age NOTHING could ever persuade me to go. Not even if you gave me a block of the city, not worth it.
