He was arrested and taken to a hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
He is being charged with unlawfully carrying a firearm, unlawfully carrying a loaded firearm, improper storage of a firearm, possession of ammunition without an FID card and operating to endanger, police said.
He will be arraigned in Worcester District Court.
