A man was wounded in a shooting on Josephine Street and a woman was attacked and robbed of her cash on St. Charles Avenue overnight, New Orleans police said in Wednesday morning crime reports.
A man in his 20s with multiple gunshot wounds showed up at a local hospital around 10 p.m. Tuesday (Aug. 6), according to the initial reports.

Shortly before 3 a.m. Wednesday, a woman in her early 40s was in the 1800 block of St. Charles Avenue (near Felicity Street) when a stranger grabbed her by the shirt, the report in that case states. He pushed her chest and demanded money, then snatched cash from her and left in an unknown direction, the report states.
