A 29 -year-old man was hospitalized Saturday after being shot during an attempted robbery in downtown Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Police Department officers were called at 11 p.m. Friday to 788 S. Grand Ave. and Eighth Street where they learned the victim was standing outside when a man approached him and demanded money and his possessions, an LAPD spokeswoman told City News Service.
The victim refused and the suspect shot at him twice, striking him once, police said.
The victim ran away and called an acquaintance to take him to a hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
There was no suspect description.
