34-year-old Eric Loudin of Upshur County says he was on his way to work when he drove up to a stranded vehicle along the road, with two white men inside.
Loudin apparently stopped to see if there was anything he could do to help. Officers say that as he tried to provide assistance, the two men came at him with a club, and demanded his car keys and money.
Loudin reported he pulled out a hand gun in an attempt to protect himself, but was attacked by the two men.

The two men then fled the scene in what appeared to be an older Ford Escort.
Loudin was flown to the hospital, and is in stable condition.
POLICE SHOOT FAYETTE MAN - Fayette County Sheriff's deputies shot Brian Lee Koch, 30, yesterday, saying the agency had been investigating him on possible child abuse and neglect charges.
Deputies say they entered a one-room cabin in Ansted to serve a warrant on Koch, who had escaped from a community corrections center earlier in the day.
They say Koch barricaded himself inside the cabin and refused to come out, after which deputies forced entry, after which Koch, armed with a rifle, struck a police dog with the weapon and refused repeated demands to surrender.
Koch pointed the rifle at a deputy, and the deputy fired a shot from his handgun.
The bullet struck Koch in the arm, and he dropped the weapon but continued to struggle with the officers until he was handcuffed, police said.
