Police: Intended Victim Shoots Mugger In New Haven CT
Advertisements [?]
A would-be mugger armed with a knife who tried to a rob a man armed with a handgun was shot Monday afternoon in the city's Wooster Square Park.

"Give me all your money or I'll stab you," the mugger told the man, according to New Haven police Officer Joe Avery.

The suspect backed his intended victim up against a fence, Avery said, then the man pulled a gun and fired.

Police said the 40-year-old suspect was shot in the chest and was in stable condition at Yale New Haven Hospital. Police did not identify him.

The intended victim, a 65-year-old man, who police said was licensed to carry his firearm, was questioned and released. The man, who is not from New Haven, said he was eating his lunch on a park bench when the alleged robber approached him.
