PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Police said a shooting on Interstate 95 Monday night in South Philadelphia was a case of road rage.

The shooting happened at about 9 p.m. on I-95 North.

Police said the driver of an older white Volvo coupe fired a gun at the victim, grazing the victim in the arm.

The victim quickly left the highway and stopped along Island Avenue near Penrose Avenue.

Bullet holes could be seen in the windshield of the victim's car.

The shooter was last seen heading north on I-95 past the Broad Street exit. Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact police.

Police said the driver of a older white Volvo sedan fired a gun at the victim, grazing the victim in the arm.

It was just last week when a minivan on I-95 North was riddled with bullets.

That shooting happened around 1:30 p.m. on April 24.

The victim says a man riding a motorcycle simply rode by, pulled out a firearm, and opened fire.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

A victim told police the operator of a black sports motorcycle fired several gunshots into his vehicle while on the highway.

"I think that people have a different type of attitude today than they did before. I think it's not a good thing," said Larry Walker of Southwest Philadelphia.

"Be very cautious. Just let them cut you off. It's not worth it. Don't even hit the horn. I mean, we're at that point now. Don't even hit the horn. I do it at my job with my truck and I do it at home," said Melvin Jackson of Frankford.
