Police said the shots were intentionally fired at a driver, and that man taken to a nearby hospital in serious condition.
Witnesses and the victim told police that the shots had been fired from a white Audi that fled east onto Holly Road.
The northbound lanes of I-75 were shut down for hours while police investigated the incident. They ultimately arrested Edward Michael Haywood, 25, of Hazel Park, authorities said.
A handgun was also seized while officials executed search warrants Friday night, they said.
Haywood has been charged with assault with intent to murder, carrying a concealed weapon and a felony firearm violation, according to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office.
Haywood was arraigned Tuesday at 52-2 District Court and is being held on $100,000 cash bond. He is scheduled to return to court Jan. 24.
