A 30-year-old man was charged with attempted homicide after he allegedly fired gunshots into a vehicle occupied by a woman and her 10-year-old child in an apparent road-rage attack Monday afternoon in Havertown, police said.

The woman suffered minor injuries, possibly from shrapnel or glass fragments, but her child was not hurt, Haverford Township police said in a news release Monday night.

Shortly before 3:30 p.m., the woman and child were in a white Jeep Cherokee on the 2000 block of West Chester Pike when Sean Moses, of Drexel Hill, allegedly fired at least 13 shots into the Jeep’s hood, windshield, and a headlight, Haverford police said.

Police received reports that Moses was driving a black Lincoln SUV and the vehicle was tracked by Radnor Township police using license-plate readers, Haverford police said.

Upper Darby Township Police stopped the Lincoln at State Road and West Chester Pike in Upper Darby and arrested Moses. A gun was found inside the vehicle, police said.

Moses was charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault, and related offenses.

The police did not say if they had a suspected motive for the road-rage shooting.

Last month, a 24-year-old man was sentenced to prison for the 2022 fatal road-rage shooting on 54-year-old King Hua in Springfield Township, Delaware County.
