The British songwriter had been walking in the French Quarter of New Orleans when the attackers grabbed his girlfriend and threatened to kill her.
Davies, awarded a CBE last week for his services to music, handed over all his money but was shot in the thigh while chasing the robbers.
The New Orleans chief of police, Eddie Compass, said: "I'm sorry for what happened but Mr Davies showed poor judgment in running after the individuals."


I love Ray Davies songwriting he is one of our treasures.
