SEPTA is offering a $1,000 reward for information that can help identify a suspect wanted for punching a SEPTA bus driver last month. It happened on July 8th on the Route 55 bus. A young man stepped onto the bus but did not have any fare. The driver did not allow the man to board the bus. Before the man exited, the suspect punched the operator in the face. He then fled. Surveillance video from the bus captured an image of suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact SEPTA police at 215-580-8111.

Fires at two different Northeast Philadelphia car dealerships early Saturday morning, 8/10, are being investigated as arsons. Both incidents happened around 4 a.m. The first happened at Northeast Community Auto Adjusters on the 6100 block of Roosevelt Boulevard in Oxford Circle. The second incident happened minutes later at Hessert Chevrolet on the 6300 block of Roosevelt Boulevard in Mayfair. Several cars were damaged. Police are investigating whether the two incidents are connected.

UPDATE:Police have a suspect in custody. 28-year-old Arthur Clowney is facing several charges including arson and criminal trespass.

A 4-year-old girl is in critical condition after falling from a second story window in North Philadelphia on Saturday night. It happened around 7 p.m. on the 2400 block of North 19th Street. The girl was playing in a bedroom and got up on a windowsill with an open window. She fell from the second floor window and sustained injuries to her head, arm, and leg. She is receiving treatment at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Three young men were shot and injured on Saturday night, 8/10, in Southwest Philadelphia near McCreesh Playground and Skatepark. It happened before 9:30 p.m. near South 66th and Regent Streets. An 18-year-old was shot in the leg. A 20-year-old was shot in the foot. They are both in stable condition. A third man in his early 20's was shot in the back of his head and once in his leg.
