There are robberies gone wrong and then there are those that go so horribly wrong you end up feeling sorry for the criminal.
After holding up a man in a parking lot on Sunday, a robber was hit five times by two vehicles, first by what cops think was the stickup man's own getaway driver and four more times by another car apparently driven by a woman who knew the 33-year-old victim, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Amidst the repeated car-rammings, the sorry stickup artist even managed to pull out his gun and shoot himself in the leg.
Here's the breakdown, according to what local police told the Journal Sentinel:
After the 29-year-old suspect robbed the man in the parking lot at 2:45 a.m. Sunday, a pickup truck cops think was the getaway ride came flying up in reverse and slammed into both the suspect and the victim — and then bolted.
As the befuddled bandit tried to slink away, a woman in a Lexus rammed him, and then backed up and hit him again and again.
The robber tried to pull his gun out of his pocket after the third hit, but instead shot himself in the leg, and was promptly walloped by the Lexus for a fourth time.
Police showed up and arrested the pitiful pilferer, who was listed in critical condition at Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital on Monday, according to the Journal Sentinel.
The incident took place about 2:30 a.m. near the intersection of N. 14th and W. Center streets.
The robber, age 29, was too injured to run away. The robbery victim, age 32, suffered a broken leg. Both men were hospitalized.
