A gunman fired at a hapless grocer amid a robbery in Brownsville on Jan. 10, grazing his eyebrow before nabbing his cash.
The victim told police he was working the register at the deli on Church Avenue near Rockaway Parkway at 9:30 pm, when the masked suspect barged in waving a gun and demanding loot.
Surveillance footage appears to show the ballsy bodega worker waving his hand at the gun dismissively, leading the robber to fire off a shot that police say struck the victim above his right eyebrow.
The victim them quickly handed the thief a wad of cash, followed by some more money stuffed in black plastic bag, cops said.
Doctors treated the wounded grocer at Brookdale Hospital following his ordeal, and he has since been released, according to police.
