CINCINNATI -- A homeless man was shot multiple times in Riverview Park Thursday morning, police said.

The man said another homeless man shot him, but no one has been arrested, according to Cincinnati police officers on the scene. Both men live in the park between Columbia Parkway and Riverside Drive, near the Montgomery Inn Boathouse, Friendship Park and Sawyer Point.

The man who was shot left the woods and "laid in the middle of (Riverside Drive)," police said. A passing driver may have saved his life.

The man who was shot is in surgery at University of Cincinnati Hospital Medical Center, according to the last update from police.
