Four people were injured in a car crash that took place on Roosevelt Boulevard on Thursday night near the Oxford section of Philadelphia. The crash took place Thursday night at around 10:30 pm on the northbound inner lanes of the Boulevard. All four of the victims in the crash were taken to Einstein Medical Center, there is no word on their conditions. The inner and outer northbound lanes were closed last night due to the crash as police investigated.

Police are now searching for a suspect who robbed a South Philadelphia 7-Eleven on Thursday afternoon. The incident happened on the 800 block of South 8th street on Thursday. The man was caught on video surveillance entering the store, approaching the counter and pulling out a large knife on the cashier, forcing her to hand over the cash. The woman gave the man the money and the suspect fled the store on foot. Police are still investigating to find the suspect and are asking for the public's help in identifying him.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney has now reached an agreement with Comcast-Spectator at the Wells Fargo Center to sell his Mayor's Suite box seats to raise money for the Philly School System. Comcast-Spectator will purchase the Mayor's suite for a flat rate of $100,000. They will also be allowed to resell the tickets for the next three years to those wanting them. A portion of the revenue made off of the tickets will also be donated to the Philadelphia School Fund. The Mayor's office also stated that they are working on a similar deal with Lincoln Financial Field.
