Another camera angle is then shown of the victim struggling with the assailant over a gun as the two collide with a stop sign before falling to the pavement.<\/p>\n<p>The second assailant is seen running from across the street as the victim and the first attempted mugger struggle on the ground over a gun. The second assailant pulls a gun and appears to look for an open shot. For a moment, the victim is able to hold the first assailant between himself and the second before gaining control of the gun and exchanging fire with the second attacker.<\/p>\n<p>The two men exchange fire as the second attacker drops to the ground, apparently shot. The first assailant is seen fleeing the scene as soon as he loses his gun.<\/p>\n<p>The two attackers fled in a dark SUV that authorities thought to be an Infiniti. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital with bullet wounds to his buttock and left ankle.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Shootings in the City of Brotherly Love are at a record rate so far this year.

That amounts to nearly 1,100 people being shot.<\/p>\n<p>The record rate in shootings has been somewhat tempered by a year-to-year decrease in homicides. Over the same time period, there have been 15 fewer homicides in the city than last year, a 6% drop.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the chaos fed by crime has led to \u201ca general feeling of fear\u201d across the city, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/philadelphia-police-commissioner-danielle-outlaw-discusses-state-violent-crime-general-feeling-fear\">Fox News<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResidence are feeling dismayed, obviously. There\u2019s a general feeling of fear, whether it\u2019s perception or reality just because of the numbers we\u2019re seeing,\u201d Outlaw said. \u201cOur homicides have been trending slightly downward, but \u2026 we\u2019re still seeing a vast number of shootings.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man managed to fight off two armed assailants in Philadelphia while being shot twice.
