“We were told one driver had cut off another, and then the shots were fired,” reports CBS 2. The bullet pierced the driver side window of the victim’s Honda Accord and police are still searching for the gunman. “Traffic [was] backed up for miles with one lane open as police manned the crime scene.”

On Thursday morning, Patch reported that the victim had been transported to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital in stable condition.
“I thought it was a muffler blast at first,” one witness told CBS 2. “Two minutes later police were everywhere.”
We’ve reached out to the NYPD for an update and we’ll update this article if we learn more.
