Shot shuts Holland Tunnel

- BY THOMAS TRACY AND ELIZABETH KEOGH

A road rage shooting on the New Jersey side of the Holland Tunnel stalled traffic Friday afternoon and led to a man’s arrest, Port Authority sources said.

A man in a Manhattan-bound lane pulled a gun on another motorist and fired at least once around 2:45 p.m., said the sources.

The shooter then sped into the tunnel toward the city — but was quickly stopped by Port Authority police, the sources said.

In the car with the shooter were three other people, including a child, said the sources.

In a statement, the Port Authority said the 2:45 p.m. traffic tie up was due to “police activity,” and that traffic was stopped for 20 minutes.

“There was an allegation of a person with a gun in a vehicle. No injuries were reported and the investigat­ion is ongoing,” the statement said.
