Video After The Jump
With his head bandaged and left arm in a sling, Troy Ave, walked out of a hospital under his own power Monday night, December 26, a day after being ambushed by a gunman in Brooklyn, New York.
The BSB Records boss suffered a gunshot wound to the back and was grazed in the head, when a man with a hoodie pulled down over his face approached his red Maserati while it was at an intersection and opened fire at around 5:00 in the afternoon on Christmas Day.
ABC 7 New York reports that after being wounded Troy put his car in reverse and while traveling at a high rate of speed, jumped a median, before being hit by another car.
He was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Doctors made the decision not to take the bullets out at this time, leaving the rapper with one still lodged in his back and a fragment in his head.
Troy will have surgery at a later date to have them removed.
“He is very sore,” his lawyer, John Stella told the New York Daily News. “The doctors told the family that he came dangerously close to having a spinal cord injury — but it looks like there’s no lasting damage from the wound track.”
Troy's girlfriend was in the car with him at the time, but escaped injury.
“DIVINE ORDER. My God is real. We were covered,” she wrote Monday on Facebook.
Police have no suspects at this time.
