That 30-year-old victim, of Voorhees Township, was transported to a local hospital where he remains in treatment.

A New York City police officer has been charged with attempted murder after authorities allege he shot another man in an apparent road rage incident in New Jersey, prosecutors said.

Hieu Tran, 27, was charged Thursday with first-degree attempted murder, second-degree aggravated assault and second-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, according to a statement from the Camden County prosecutor.

Tran’s lawyer did not immediately respond to request for comment. The NYPD said that Tran was currently suspended without pay.

    A New York City police officer has been charged with attempted murder…

    Oh wow, I am honestly surprised he wasn’t just given a slap on the wrist and placed on leave with pay like every other cop who shoots someone.

    Hieu Tran, 27, was charged Thursday…

    Oh that’s why, he’s not white.
