Chopper 7 was over the scene where Chicago police could be seen. It was not immediately clear whether the stabbing happened inside or outside the Walgreen’s.

A 35-year-old man was stabbed in the shoulder by a knife after he got into a verbal argument with the perpetrator, which turned physical, police said.

The victim was taken to a hospital in good condition.

“We are aware of and cooperating with CPD in their investigation. The safety of everyone in our stores is our priority,” a Walgreen’s spokesperson said in a statement.

The perpetrator fled the scene in a silver Dodge minivan, the police said.

No arrests have been made. Chicago police continue to investigate.
