SEPTA police arrested two young men Sunday evening after an attempted armed holdup in the transit concourse at Eighth and Market Streets.

No one was injured, according to SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch.

Police responded to a call about 7 p.m. They chased the suspects from the concourse onto Center City streets, where they were eventually arrested at Seventh and Chestnut Streets.

The suspects were possibly juveniles, but Busch said he could not confirm that.

The victim of the attempted holdup went to the police station to make a statement after the arrests.
