A man was wounded by gunfire Friday night in the South Austin neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

At 10:57 p.m., the 39-year-old was walking underneath the Green Line tracks near the CTA’s Laramie L stop in the 5200 block of West Lake when he heard shots and felt pain, according to Chicago police.

After realizing a bullet grazed his right leg, he walked into West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park, police said. He was in good condition.
