The victim got off the freeway at First Street, and the man in the other car followed. The Moorpark man told police he stopped, and there was an argument. Police say the second man then pulled out a gun.
The victim got back in his car, but told police as he was driving away, there was a gunshot which shattered his rear window. The man was unhurt, and called police.
Officers tried to stop the car, but the driver led them on a chase on eastbound Highway 118. He finally pulled over, and surrendered near Rocky Peak. Police say they arrested Antonio Mendoza of Simi Valley for assault with a firearm, evading of a police officer and possession of methamphetamine.
