Philadelphia police are searching for a suspect who shot a man in both legs Monday afternoon at SEPTA's 15th Street Station, one of the busiest hubs along the Market-Frankford Line.
The incident happened shortly after 3 p.m. Two men were involved in a confrontation on the eastbound platform when one of them pulled out a handgun and shot the other, a SEPTA spokesperson said. The shooter then fled the scene.
There were no other injuries reported at the scene. Police said the victim is 19 years old and no weapon was recovered at the scene.

The scene outside 15th and Market streets was hectic on Monday afternoon as SEPTA riders and pedestrians in Center City passed through the area.
