An alleged would-be-robber now faces armed robbery and aggravated assault charges after police say he tried to rob a delivery man Monday night.
Investigators say the delivery man--who works for Seafood Sensation in Philadelphia--came to deliver pizza Monday night at a vacant home on the 700 block of Price Street in Germantown.
When he arrived, police say 26-year-old Vincent Yates approached him from a nearby alley and demanded $100 from the delivery man at gunpoint.
Investigators say a struggle then ensued resulting in Yates being shot in the neck and buttocks as the pizza spilled to the ground next to them. Police initially reported that the delivery man wrestled the gun out of Yates' hands and shot him with it. They now say, however, that it's unknown whether it was in fact the delivery man who shot Yates or if the gun accidentally went off.
Yates was taken to Einstein Hospital where he is currently listed in grave condition. The delivery man did not suffer any serious injuries.
