Authorities Seek Bicyclist Who Shot Man on Paterson Street

Authorities say a bicyclist shot and wounded a man on a northern New Jersey street.

It's not yet known what spurred the shooting, which occurred around 10:45 p.m. Saturday on 12th Avenue in Paterson.

The victim, identified only as a 44-year-old city resident, was shot in the lower leg. He remains hospitalized in stable condition, and further details on his injuries were not disclosed.

Authorities say the shooter was dressed all in black when he approached the victim. But it's not clear if the gunman fired his weapon while riding the bike or if he stopped to shoot the man and then rode off.
