PHOENIX (AP) - Police in Phoenix are searching for a suspect after a man was shot in an apparent road rage incident.

They say the 33-year-old man is hospitalized in critical condition after being shot Saturday evening by the driver of an SUV-style vehicle. His injuries aren't believed to be life-threatening.

The name of the victim hasn't been released. Police say the man was driving on South Central Avenue when an SUV cut him off and prevented him from passing.

They say an unidentified male suspect in the SUV fired multiple rounds at the victim's vehicle. The wounded man was transported to a hospital by the Phoenix Fire Department. Police say a 30-year-old woman who was a passenger in the victim's vehicle wasn't hurt.
