An altercation over a crash involving an electric bicycle escalated into a shooting in South Philadelphia early Sunday, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.<\/p>\n
Police said two men, ages 29 and 33, were injured during the incident.<\/p>\n
At approximately 2:47 a.m. on Aug. 23, officers responded to the 1200 block of Mifflin Street for a report of a person with a gun.<\/p>\n
When officers arrived, they found a 29-year-old man suffering from multiple abrasions to his head, police said. The man declined treatment at the scene and was later taken by private vehicle to a hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.<\/p>\n
Ballistic evidence was recovered at the scene as police conducted their investigation.<\/p>\n
Then, at approximately 4:33 a.m., officers located a 33-year-old man near the 2000 block of Chestnut Street suffering from a gunshot wound to his left hip. First responders transported him to Jefferson Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, police said.<\/p>\n
According to officials, the preliminary investigation indicates the incident began after the 33-year-old man crashed an electric bicycle near the 1200 block of Mifflin Street, leading to an argument over possible damage to a vehicle.<\/p>\n
Police said the dispute escalated into a physical fight, during which the 33-year-old man was shot once in the hip. The 29-year-old man suffered injuries to his head during the altercation.<\/p>\n
