The dangerous driving happened on I-94 heading westbound at the I-75 ramp in Detroit.

Michigan State Police said the incident happened around 8 p.m. Tuesday night when the dispatch center got a call about a hit-and-run crash.

Police say he was eventually able to catch up and took a photo of the license plate. Then he pulled alongside the at-fault driver and yelled at him to pull over. 

The suspect instead pulled out a gun and fired once, striking the front passenger side door. He continued fleeing after that.

No one was injured in the incident and further investigation is ongoing.
