An Acura has a smashed rear window and Port Moody police are looking for a suspect after a road rage incident Thursday afternoon.
Port Moody Police Department spokesperson, Cst. Sam Zacharias, said the confrontation occurred at around 4 p.m. in the westbound lanes of St. Johns Street at Moray Street.
He said it’s believed to have started as a verbal exchange several blocks to the east, near the Coquitlam border, then escalated when the suspect allegedly got out of his car and smashed the window with some sort of object.
“We aren’t exactly sure what sparked it,” Zacharias said.
He said the suspect also allegedly pointed a weapon at the Acura’s driver, who wasn’t injured in the altercation.
The suspect is described as a heavier-set Middle Eastern male, in his late-20’s or early-30’s, with black hair and a beard. He fled the scene in a grey Honda sedan.
“We are looking to speak with any witnesses who observed the rush hour altercation,” Zacharias said, adding anyone with further information or even dashcam footage can contact PMPD at 604-461-3456.
