Harrison police say a Port Chester man has been charged with firing a gunshot during a road rage incident Wednesday.

Police say it began when a husband and wife reported a vehicle blocked theirs as they attempted to make a lane change on Westchester Avenue.

The victims said a car pulled alongside them and cursed and yelled racist derogatory remarks toward them.

At Purchase Street, the car pulled alongside them again and the driver pointed a loaded handgun at them - before driving off.

Jarrell Fortson, 35, was arrested outside his home.

He was charged with criminal possession of a weapon, reckless endangerment and menacing.
