A 32-year-old man was shot in the foot Wednesday night while walking in the 800 block of North Erie Street near downtown Toledo, police said.

Derrick Neal of Hamilton Street was taken to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, where a hospital official said yesterday she had no information on a patient by that name.

Police said his injuries didn't appear to be life-threatening.

Mr. Neal told police he was walking along North Erie Street about 11:10 p.m. when he heard several gunshots and began running. He later noticed he had been shot in the left foot, a report said.

Mr. Neal walked to a friend's house at 815 North Erie and was taken to the hospital, the report said.
