CTA blue line trains were bypassing a busy Loop train station Wednesday afternoon after a man was shot in broad daylight, authorities said.

According to the Chicago Fire Department, a man was shot near Madison and State streets around lunchtime Wednesday and was transported to a nearby hospital. His condition wasn't immediately known.

An alert on the CTA website at 12:01 p.m. said trains on the Blue Line were bypassing the Washington stop "due to police activity."

"We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding," the alert said.

Further details and any other injuries or the circumstances surrounding the shooting weren't provided.
