Police say an armed man turned the tables on three gunmen who tried to rob him.

Investigators say the unidentified man was walking on 7th and Huntingdon around 4:15 a.m. when he was approached by three armed robbers.

Police say the suspects took out their weapons and pointed them at the man. The man, who was armed, took out his gun as well which prompted a shootout. Police have not yet revealed whether the would-be victim or the armed robbers opened fire first.

One of the robbers was struck in the left hand and right leg, according to police. Police say the two other suspects dropped the wounded robber off at Hahnemann Hospital before fleeing the scene. The wounded suspect will be charged, according to investigators. The other two suspects remain on the loose.

The would-be victim was not injured in the shooting. Police say the man has a permit to carry his gun and no record. He will not be charged.
