A man was injured when a shooter opened fire on a car in Hamden Wednesday, according to police.

Police said a male suspect fired several shots into a car that was stopped in the middle of Dixwell Avenue near Concord Street around noon. The suspect ran off and the driver also fled.

The car was a black four-door sedan, possibly a Volkswagen Jetta. The shooter was described as being a man in his late teens to early 20s, thin, with short braided hair and wearing a black sweatsuit.

A 35-year-old man later arrived at St. Raphael's Hospital with a non-life-threatening injury, according to police.
