A man with a concealed carry license was grazed by a bullet during an exchange of gunfire with the driver of an SUV after a traffic accident early Thursday in South Shore.

The man, 23, was in his car in the 7100 block of South Yates Boulevard when a silver Ford Escape struck it and fled, Chicago police said.

The man began following the SUV driver, who stopped, got out and began firing at him, police said. The 23-year-old returned fire and the SUV driver ran away.

The 23-year-old was grazed in the leg and refused to go to the hospital, police said.

No one was in custody.
