Man Shot, Wounded in Mugging on Manila Ave.

A man was shot and wounded during an armed robbery in the 5300 block of Manila Avenue (between Clifton and Hudson streets) on Saturday evening, according to an article in the Oakland Tribune.

The mugging occurred about 9:25 p.m., the Tribune reported. The robber fled on foot without steaing anything, the article said.

The victim is listed in stable condition, the report said.

The Tribune quoted City Councilman Dan Kalb, who represents Rockridge and other parts of North Oakland, as saying that the incident happened about three blocks from his home.

Kalb himself was the victim of an armed robbery in the 5100 block of Manila Avenue last October. He was not injured in that incident.

Kalb told the Tribune that he received an email from Oakland police about Saturday night's robbery that said the victim suffered gunshot wounds and was transported to a hospital.

""Crime has gotten serious in almost every neighborhood in the city and Rockridge, where this incident happened and where I happen to live, is no exception," the Tribune quoted Kalb as saying.
