Nearly four months after an attempted robbery at the Convenience Grocery at 15 Bayview Ave. in Inwood where a store employee, a man, 54, was pistol-whipped and suffered a fractured skull, the man who allegedly fired a gunshot and assaulted the clerk was arrested, police said.
On Jan. 26 at 10 a.m., an unshaven black man in his mid-30s, 6-2 with a slim build, wearing a black skullcap, blue sweater and black jacket entered the store armed with a handgun, police said. There was a struggle and the employee was injured, and the man left the scene on foot and headed west on Bayview Avenue. Another employee was not hurt. No money or merchandise was stolen.
After the subsequent investigation by detectives, they learned that Edward Henson, 56, of Lawrence Avenue, Lawrence, was the driver of the vehicle that got Andre Ivory, 45, of Beach Channel Drive, of Far Rockaway, to the store.
