The woman told the victim to "get out the car" when he arrived, which he did for a second, but then sat back down inside his white Nissan, according to the report.

Police said as the woman was talking to the man through his open driver's side door, three other men came up and surrounded the victim, hit him in the head with a pistol, pushed him out of the driver's seat, beat him, stole his pants and shot him in the calf.

The man's pants contained his iPhone and his wallet, records show.

The victim said he'd never seen the gunmen before.

No arrests have been made.
