A 22-year-old man was shot during a robbery attempt in the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side early Wednesday.
About 3:15 a.m., he was walking in the 11900 block of South Michigan when a gunman walked up and demanded his property, police said.
The two got into a struggle for the gun, which went off and struck the 22-year-old in the ankle, police said. The gunman ran away without taking anything.
A friend drove the injured man to Roseland Community Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, police said.
