Hunger beat out the hospital for one Connecticut man.

Shot twice near the groin, New Haven resident Miguel Soto III had a choice: Eat the sandwich he just bought, or rush to the emergency room just a block away.

He headed home, sat down in the kitchen and polished off the hero before asking his dad for a ride to Yale-New Haven hospital, WVIT-TV reported late Wednesday.

There, he was treated and released Tuesday night with non-life-threatening injuries to his groin and left thigh.

Police were said to be investigating the incident, and had two suspects. The New Haven Police Department did not immediately respond to a call for comment Thursday.
