A clumsy Chicago would-be robber accidentally shot himself in the penis while trying to raid a hotdog stand.
It has been reported the teenager was fumbling with his weapon as he tried to grab cash from the sausage salesman.
But the raid went horribly wrong when his gun went off and he shot himself in his own genitals.
ABC7 is reporting the man was allegedly holding up a South Side hot dog stand on Tuesday.
It said the alleged would-be robber, Terrion Pouncy, is recovering at Christ Hospital.
He is facing two counts of armed robbery, the Chicago Sun-Times has reported.
He was spotted slumped on the ground outside a West Pullman restaurant called Maxwell Street Express.
Local police told the paper that they believe he had tried to rob the place when his .38 calibre handgun accidently fired with the bullet.
At Leighton Criminal Courthouse, Judge Stephanie Miller ordered him held without bond while he lay in his hospital bed.
Police told the newspaper that he was unable to run very far because of the pain of the self-inflicted.
It is said he had been trying to adjust the pistol's position in his waistband when it fired.
Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Erin Antonietti claimed in court that Pouncy had pulled out the gun and demanded cash from two employees, pressing the gun to the head of a 39-year-old worker, Antonietti said.
The workers passed over their wallets and a few dollar bills that fell to the floor.
On his way out and stooping to pick up some of the fluttering money, he reached to his waistband and apparently pulled the trigger, firing a bullet that struck him in the penis, Antonietti said.
A fight started, but Pouncy made it to the street before collapsing.
The newspaper said surveillance cameras captured video and audio of the robbery, and showed Pouncy struggling to make it across the street, stop on a bench, and make his way to the steps of a nearby house before collapsing, Antonietti said.
Police told the paper they recovered the wallets Pouncy had allegedly stolen from the two men, as well as the .38 caliber pistol, and his blood-stained boxers.
