CHICAGO (CBS)-- A man was shot outside an adult entertainment venue in South Loop Thursday morning. 

Chicago police said around 4:15 a.m., a 30-year-old man was escorting another man out of the Deja Vu Showgirls Club, located in the 700 block of South Clinton Street near Polk Street, when a black Tesla pulled up, and someone from inside fired shots.

Bullet casings were marked on the ground, and Clinton Street was blocked off.    

The victim was shot in the knee and taken to Stroger Hospital in good condition.   

As CBS 2's Asal Rezaei reported, police took off from the initial scene and caught up with the Tesla on DuSable Lake Shore Drive. Chopper 2 was over the scene where the car was surrounded by police at the 18th Street exit. 

A person of interest was taken into custody. 

Charges are pending.
