PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A man is recovering after being robbed and shot in Philadelphia's Northern Liberties section.

It happened around 10:45 p.m. Saturday, inside the parking garage of an apartment building on the 700 block of North Front Street.

Authorities found the 45-year-old victim attempting to drive himself to the hospital.

They say the gunman took his cell phone, jewelry and cash - and then opened fire.
