SALEM -- A man was shot multiple times as he rode his bicycle along a city street early Saturday, authorities said.

Anthony Johnson, 32, of Salem was hit by gunfire  on Wesley Street between Oak and Chestnut streets shortly after 1 a.m., according to the Salem County Prosecutor's Office. 

After being shot, Johnson rode to a home on Chestnut Street where Salem City police officers and emergency medical crews responded..

Johnson was truck by bullets in his leg, arm and torso, authorities said. He was taken to Christiana Hospital, Newark, Delaware.

Right now, authorities say they have no motive for the shooting.

Both the prosecutor's office and the Salem City Police Department are investigating.
