A young man stopped at an east London intersection was shot in the face after giving another motorist the finger in what police now say is a case of possible road rage.

Investigators on Thursday announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the attempted murder case that has gone unsolved for nearly two months.

A man, 21, had left work and was driving a Volkswagen in the area of Royal Crescent and Wexford Avenue around 4 p.m. on May 11 when he encountered a Chevrolet Cruze being driven aggressively, police said.

The man gestured toward the Cruze driver — friends of the victim say he gave the middle finger — before proceeding to the intersection at Admiral Drive and Trafalgar Street, where the Cruze driver pulled up beside the Volkswagen and shot the driver before speeding away, police said.

“It appears that it may well be an incident of road rage,” Det. Sgt. Alex Krygsman said.
