The gunman who allegedly fired off a single round as he tried to rob a man in Greenwich Village last month was busted this week, cops said. 

Walvince Raymond, 19, was nabbed by a field intelligence officer who recognized him around 10 a.m. Tuesday — weeks after the July 24 stickup, police said. 

Raymond approached his 41-year-old victim on Bleecker Street near Sullivan Street in the hip Manhattan enclave around 11:40 that night, pulled a gun and demanded the victim’s belongings, cops said.

Instead of complying, the victim fought to grab hold of the suspect’s gun — and some of his family members who were with him also joined the fray, police said.
