Police said the victim called 9-1-1 to report the incident while driving home to their residence in Brick.

According to police, patrol units met with the victim, who was not injured, but police located one bullet in the front passenger side door frame. 

The victim stated he was involved in a road rage incident with two unknown white male subjects driving a newer model red pickup truck with an extended cab.

Police say the incident began on Brick Boulevard when the pickup truck continued to pass the victim and brake checked him several times as they drove down Route 70 east.
