Worcester police are searching for a gunman who injured a man in a shooting during an armed robbery Wednesday afternoon.

Video from the scene on Townsend Street near Park avenue shows what appears to be a bullet hole in the back windshield of a gray Toyota Rav4, next to where the glass is almost entirely blown out.

The shooting happened shortly before 5 p.m. Wednesday, ending in a small parking lot near several apartment buildings. When police arrived on scene, they found a 41-year-old man with a gunshot wound, officials said.

That victim told police that another man robbed him, then shot him during a confrontation, before running from the scene. He was transported to the hospital.

An update on his condition was not available Thursday morning.

Investigators could be seen for several hours collecting evidence.
