A man dining outside of an upscale Chinese restaurant in Manhattan on Wednesday night was shot in the leg as he tried to fight off a pair of armed robbers, police and witnesses said.
The chaotic scene outside of Philippe Chow on East 60th Street near Madison Avenue unfolded when two male suspects approached the eatery and first robbed a 31-year-old diner of his Rolex watch at about 10 p.m., police said.
The duo, at least one of them wielding a gun, then targeted a 28-year-old man sitting nearby, who was shot in the leg as he struggled with the suspects, according to cops.

A hostess at the restaurant witnessed part of the mayhem and said the robbery victim was shot when he resisted the suspects’ demands.
"The guy said he wasn’t going to give him his watch," the woman said. "They shot him once."
"It was public in front of everybody. And when he said no, they just pulled out the gun. It’s absolutely terrifying," she said.
