A Jersey City man was shot multiple times in the chest by a group of masked men Saturday night, police reports said.

Responding to reports of shots fired around 11 p.m., cops found the 25-year-old victim inside the living room of a Montgomery Court apartment, reports said.

Blood was splattered across the floor, and the victim was clutching his chest through a blood-drenched shirt, reports said.

The victim told police he did not know his attackers and that he was standing in the courtyard when five men wearing masks shot at him, reports said. After being shot, the man ran to his aunt's apartment, reports said. Emergency medical workers took the victim to the Jersey City Medical Center where he underwent an operation, reports said.
