Patna, Oct 29 (PTI) Two groups of people have clashed and fired bullets injuring at least one person in the city over a local issue, police said on Monday.

The clash on late Sunday evening was the fallout of an altercation between owners of an e-rickshaw and a four-wheeler in the Rajendra Nagar area some hours back.
Though the matter was initially sorted out with the intervention of the police, but later one group of people from over bridge locality attacked some houses on road number 10, beat up people besides teasing girls, police said.
The people of the locality retaliated and pelted stones after which 8-10 rounds were fired in which a 16-year-old boy was injured, police said.
Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj visited the area.
