A SEPTA bus became stuck in freshly poured concrete Thursday night just minutes after crews finally filled potholes that plagued the block for more than a year.
Officials with the transit agency say recent safety and security enhancements fueled a 21% reduction in serious crimes in the second quarter of this year, including a 40% decrease in aggravated assaults.
According to authorities, transit police responded just after 9 p.m. to a report of a stabbing on SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line heading eastbound under Market Street at 8th Street.
SEPTA has launched an internal investigation after video showed a transit police officer shoving a man, who then fell into a person in a wheelchair.
No-stopping violations in SEPTA bus lanes have declined significantly since SEPTA launched an artificial intelligence-powered camera enforcement program on buses last year, according to new figures from the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
SEPTA Transit Police said the incident began as a fight on the bus before escalating into a stabbing around 3:30 p.m. on the 2700 block of Germantown Avenue.
