Two men were shot early Sunday morning in an underground concourse of the SEPTA Broad Street Line subway in Center City, police said.
Officers responding to a report of a shooting at the Walnut-Locust station about 12:40 a.m. found the two victims outside on Broad Street. A 19-year-old man with two gunshot wounds to the back, and stab wounds to the head and back, was found lying against a wall outside the Doubletree hotel.
Other officers found an 18-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his foot, lying against a wall on Broad near Walnut. He told police he had been walking in the concourse to catch a trolley, when he heard five to six gunshots behind him and felt something strike him in the foot. He then ran up the steps near Walnut and collapsed.
Both men were taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. The 19-year-old was in critical condition; the 18-year-old in stable condition.
Police did not have a description of a shooter.
