Man reports being shot after being forced to strip

Police in Chattanooga say a man has reported he was forced to strip, then was shot during a robbery.

A police news release said 28-year-old Stanley Dean said he was approached early Friday in an alley by a tall man who demanded his money. Dean told investigators the man told him to "remove all of his clothes" and then shot him.

Dean said was able to reach his apartment and call police, who found he had wounds to his face and chest from what appeared to be a shotgun blast. The injuries weren't thought be life-threatening. He was taken to a hospital.

No suspect was immediately located.
