'Last Dragon' Star Shot Twice In Harlem

Leo O’Brien — the actor who played Bruce Leroy’s little brother Richie in 1985′s “The Last Dragon” — was rushed to a hospital yesterday after being shot TWICE in broad daylight … TMZ has learned.

It all went down in Harlem, NY when a gunman opened fire on the 40-year-old actor at 11:50 AM — striking O’Brien once in the stomach and once in the left arm.

Witnesses called 911 — and after O’Brien was transported to a nearby hospital, cops arrested a 50-year-old male suspected of pulling the trigger.

Law enforcement sources tell us … the suspect was booked for attempted murder and criminal possession of a firearm.

TMZ spoke with O’Brien who tells us he recognized the shooter — but he has NO IDEA why the man would open fire on him.

O’Brien adds, “In life, sometimes sh*t happens … but I’m alright and doing better.”

Sho ’nuff.
