A Manhattan parking garage attendant who was shot twice while confronting an alleged thief at his business was charged with murder after wrestling away the weapon and using it to fire at the suspect.
The nightside worker, Moussa Diarra, 57, was slapped with assault and criminal possession of a weapons charges in the Saturday incident, which occurred at around 5.30am.
The attendant saw a man peering into the car windows on the second floor of the West 31st Street garage, reported the New York Post.
Thinking that the man was stealing, the attendant brought the suspect outside and asked what was inside his bag.
Instead of idling or cooperating, however, the man then pulled out a weapon.
Diarra lunged for the gun and it went off, leaving him with a stomach wound and an ear graze before he was able to turn the firearms on the alleged thief and shoot him in the chest.
The culprit, Charles Rhodie, 59, was also charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon, in addition to burglary, according to police.
The charges against Diarra have left many confused and livid, as they are reminiscent of the case against Manhattan bodega clerk Jose Alba, who was charged with murder following a fatal confrontation on July 1 with an angry customer who accosted him.
A family friend of Diarra's was irate: 'That's self-defense. The guy tried to rob his business. Why DA want to charge him with attempted murder?' said Mariame Diarra, of no relation to the attendant.
'He's there for security. That's literally his job, to defend his business ... He takes his job seriously ... Attempted murder charge has no place there'.

Democrat elites had Epstein murdered and nothing happened to them. The so-called 'justice' system whores for democrats... and hands out passes for their killers.
I thought he got it out of a cracker jack box.
That’s why he’s not being forced out.
He’s not resigning because he has no character.
My comment reflected a normal world.
Trump will play this on the stump. LOL Bragg is useless.
I believe that too. I also think that the duplicitous
Repubican RINO establishment signed off on the murder too.
Atty. Gen Bill Barr, a Republican, basically just
yawned about the whole affair and only went through
the motions of investigating the incident. They all knew
Epstein was being set up for the kill.
New York City voters elected this guy. They vote like wind-up toys. Have no idea what they’re voting for. They were warned. They did it anyway.
White people, move out of NYC. The law only protects black people there.
Where’s the Mayor?
Tried the same thing on the guy who worked in the bodega,, and that guy was actually in Rikers until the media got the tape showing what happen.
Bragg went after Moussa Diarra because Diarra shot an ADOS who is on of Braggs’ people. Bragg is a racist.
Snake Pliskin wouldn’t set foot in that s-hole for all the gold in Ft. Knox.
Related to Alvin Bragg?
I prefer the gaseous spelling.
Alvin Brapp
Well stated. I wonder how many red diaper doper babies get that.
