A man was shot in the shoulder on the Chestnut Street Bridge at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia, police said

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A man was shot in the shoulder early Monday morning near Penn’s Landing, Philadelphia police said.

The shooting happened along the Chestnut Street Bridge – leading to the waterfront above Columbus Boulevard – around 12:30 p.m.

Officers said the incident began when a woman dropped her cell phone while getting into a car with the male victim.

A group of teenagers nearby noticed the woman drop the phone and tried to grab it before the woman could grab it, police said.

The woman was able to get the phone first, but police said a suspect shot the woman multiple times.

The woman was not hit, but the male driver was shot in the shoulder. Police said a child was also in the car, but was not injured.

Police said the woman took the man to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, but his condition was not immediately known.

The suspects were last seen fleeing the scene.
