Police are searching for a man who turned the tables on three would-be robbers and shot them early Tuesday in the Tenderloin.
Police say the three first attempts to rob a man at 3:30 a.m. at Turk and Leavenworth streets, but he was able to flee. The man then watched as the suspects tackle a couple and tried to grip a backpack from them, police said.
The man with the backpack pulled a gun and gunshot the three, police said. One man was injured in the leg and was quickly arrested, and a second man injured in the arm and buttocks was found around the corner.
The third man, hurt in the buttocks and groin, went to the Tenderloin Task Force police station for help.

"You've got to go somewhere," Inspector John Peterson said. "Where he was shot, he needed the help.'"
