A SEPTA spokesperson estimated there were 15-20 teens involved in the argument that led to the gun being drawn.
No shots were fired and everyone had fled by the time police arrived.
"They need to have better security down here," a frustrated SEPTA rider told FOX 29. "Stuff like that happening everywhere, so down here I’m really not surprised about that."
