A man was shot in the leg outside of a posh Beverly Hills Italian restaurant Tuesday night after his attacker tried to rob him, according to police. The victim was eating at Via Alloro - two blocks away from Rodeo Drive - around 8:45 p.m. before leaving to buy something at the drugstore across the street. On his way back to dinner, the man 'struggled with the suspect' as the attacker attempted to rob the victim on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. The suspect then shot the man in the leg and 'fled the scene (in) a silver Infiniti sedan with dark tinted windows' driven by someone else, the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) said in a news release, adding that 'there is damage to the left rear quarter panel.' The shooter and the driver have yet to be identified by police. It was not immediately clear if the crime was gang-related.
