A teen wanted by police was hospitalized after being shot on Wednesday night, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.
Officers on patrol reported hearing a gunshot go off in the area of North Sydenham Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue in North Philadelphia at 8 p.m. on Nov. 4.
Then, a 17-year-old boy ran up to the officers saying he was shot in the leg, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
The officers rushed the teen to a nearby hospital where he was placed in stable condition.
Witnesses told police that a person wearing all dark clothing and a face mask approached the teenager before firing one gunshot.
The shooter was then seen walking southbound along Sydenham Street away from Cecil B. Moore.
Investigators found one fragment from the gunshot at the scene and are using surveillance footage from nearby homes as part of their investigation.
The teen is wanted under an arrest warrant so he is being held as a prisoner at the hospital.
