"When he came to a stop he noticed a silhouette of an individual on the right side of his car and heard a shot."
Varn said the teen, a Trenton resident, sped away after realizing he was hit in the right arm.
In the area of Route 29 and Memorial Drive, Varn said the victim saw a New Jersey State Police patrol car and flagged down the officer, at around 11:30 p.m.
The victim was taken to Capital Health Regional Medical Center in Trenton where he was treated for a minor injury to his arm and was released Saturday morning.
The shooting is being investigated by the Trenton Shooting Response Team.
