Police are investigating a weekend shooting in Fair Haven, according to police spokesman Officer Joe Avery.

On Sunday at about 7:22 p.m., a 30-year-old man was shot in the groin in Fair Haven. Police found him at Grafton Street and Clinton Avenue. He told police that had been walking along when a dark colored Dodge pulled up. Out jumped two men dressed all in black.

One pointed a gun at him and demanded his money, according to the victim. The victim told police he thought the gun was fake, so he told the muggers to “get it out of his face.” Then one of the assailants punched him twice in the face and took his wallet.

The suspects fled in their car. The victim, who lives on Atwater Street, was treated at the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
