An off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer fired his weapon during a road rage incident near John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City on Tuesday, according to reports.
The incident occurred on the Van Wyck Expressway around 4:45 a.m. near an airport entrance, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said.
A CBP officer told authorities he'd been assaulted by another driver after a minor car collision. He said he fired his duty weapon several times in self-defense.
No one was hurt.
The driver of the other vehicle left before Port Authority police officers arrived.
No one has been located or arrested.
The incident resulted in the closure of several lanes on the freeway. Drivers on their way to the airport were advised of significant traffic delays.
A CBP spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the incident was under review by the agency's Office of Professional Responsibility, which also responded to the scene.
