A man was shot on the platform of the MBTA’s Broadway Station early Friday evening and taken to a hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, according to Boston and Transit Police.

Around 5:30 p.m., the Transit Police responded to reports of a person shot at the Red Line Station. Officers found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the lower body, Transit Police Inspector Richard Sullivan said in an email.

The shooting temporarily shut down the South Boston station while police investigated.
