A man is recovering after he was shot in the left foot while aboard a SEPTA bus in North Philadelphia Friday night, according to police.

Investigators believe the shooting happened after the 24-year-old victim and an adult man, appearing to be in his 50s, got into an argument near the West Dauphin Street and North Bancroft Street intersection just after 10:45 p.m.

According to police, the 24-year-old didn't pay the bus fare when he got on board and was acting erratically instigating arguments and making threats to passengers. Police said the man started to argue with the bus driver and shined his phone flashlight in the driver's face, leading the driver to pull over and call the police.
