Mounties are seeking the public's assistance to help identify a man seen pepper spraying a vehicle during a dispute with another driver in Maillardville last April.
The incident occurred at the intersection of Brunette Avenue and the Lougheed Highway on April 17 at around 7:15 p.m., when the driver of a black Mercedes sprayed the occupants of a grey Kia.
"There is no excuse for getting out of your vehicle and using a weapon against people in another vehicle," said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. "Having said that, the initial dispute about who should yield to whom was totally preventable. If you can control your own actions, keep a cool head behind the wheel and avoid confrontations on the road, you will make things safer for everyone."
The driver of the black Mercedes is described as an Asian or South Asian male in his late teens or early twenties with a slim build who is about six-feet tall.
Anyone that recognizes the man should not confront him and should instead call the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency number at 604-945-1550 and ask for Const. Chabot-Maltais.
