PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are searching for the suspect who shot a woman during an apparent attempted carjacking in the city's Wynnefield Heights section.
It happened around 3:20 p.m. Thursday behind the Lukoil gas station along City Avenue.
Police said the 25-year-old woman, who was a passenger in a Hyundai, was shot in the arm. The bullet also pierced her stomach.
She was driven to the gas station by her boyfriend to get help.
"I heard a loud bang. I was inside the gas station," recalled Eric Jackson with PAGS Security.
Video obtained by Action News shows Jackson running out to help the woman just as police arrive.
"The gentleman asked for help, said his girlfriend was shot," recalled Jackson. "I walked over to the passenger's side and I told him to keep pressure on her and I called 911."
Police took the victim to Lankenau Medical Center where she was placed in critical condition.
Police reported another carjacking in this area last week in the middle of the day, but no one was injured.
No arrests have been made.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call police.
