A retired police officer was arrested after police say he shot and killed a New York City utility worker on the George Washington Bridge Tuesday, according to authorities.

The NYPD said Victor Romero, 62, of Haverstraw, faces a murder charge after he allegedly shot and killed Con Edison worker Koran Irvine, 46, of Valley Cottage.

It appeared to be a road rage attack involving the two Rockland County residents, the New York Post reported.

Romero previously worked as an NYPD detective.
