Police were searching Monday evening for a gunman with a rifle who fired shots at the NJ Transit park and ride in Old Bridge.

Nobody was hit or injured at the park and ride where four people were sitting under a “bus shelter” near Route 9 at 3:55 p.m., NJ Transit Spokeswoman Nancy Snyder said.

The man was seen with a rifle running toward a nearby housing complex and police were still searching for him as of 5:20 p.m., Snyder said.

The man was described as a black male wearing a brown ski mask, she said.

Snyder said she did not know if the man was targeting anybody at the site, but said the NJ Transit Police were the lead investigating agency and the Old Bridge Police were assisting them.
