A Bronx shoplifting suspect led two cops on a chase that ended with all three getting struck by a car — after twice being released by judges while out on parole, according to cops and records.
Manny Tate, 45, was set free on his own recognizance for a petit larceny charge in August — while he was out on parole for an earlier grand larceny conviction, sources said.
A few days later, Tate was arraigned on a misdemeanor assault charge from July 18 when he allegedly punched someone in the face at Nagle Avenue and Sickles Street in Fort George, according to a criminal complaint.
Both were not bail-eligible. It was unclear why the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision didn’t step in after the pair of arrests.
He allegedly got back up to his old tricks when he ripped off a Target in Marble Hill around 7:10 p.m. Thursday, cops said.
Tate, 45, had just robbed a Target on West 225th Street when responding cops chased after him, authorities said. KEVIN C DOWNSTwo male officers, ages 23 and 33, responded to the scene near Exterior Street and chased Tate on foot, cops said.
As Tate bolted across West 225th Street, both he and the cops were struck by an oncoming 2012 Honda Civic driven by a 53-year-old man, police said.
Both Tate and the two officers were struck by a Honda Civic, cops said. KEVIN C DOWNSTate — who remained in critical condition at Jacobi Medical Center on Friday — was charged with robbery, aggravated assault on a police officer, assault, reckless endangerment, petit larceny, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct, police said.
The cops were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and were listed in stable condition.
In August, when he was arrested and released, Tate was out on parole after doing time for a fourth-degree grand larceny conviction and being released from prison last November, state corrections records show.
Tate was hit with multiple charges, including robbery and assault on a police officer, cops said. KEVIN C DOWNSTate was also paroled in 2018 in connection to a third-degree robbery conviction, according to the records.
The Honda driver was issued a summons for failure to use due care, cops said.
