Richmond RCMP is seeking dash cam footage for an alleged assault with a weapon during a road rage incident.
Police arrived at the 6600 block of Steveston Highway (just west of Gilbert Road) around 7:06 p.m. on Dec. 27. According to the victim, a black Hyundai sedan was driving closely behind him through the Massey Tunnel, and both vehicles exited Highway 99 on the Steveston Highway off-ramp. The victim said the two then proceeded westbound on Steveston Highway.
The victim alleged that the other driver was swerving between lanes behind the victim, and continued to do so until just past No. 4 Road when he allegedly pulled in front and cut the victim off.
The victim stated at this point, both he and the other driver stopped and exited their vehicles, which is when the driver of the Hyundai allegedly sprayed the victim with bear spray. The victim said the suspect driver then returned to his vehicle and drove off westbound on Steveston Highway.
The suspect driver is described as a South Asian man wearing black or dark clothing. The victim was driving a grey four-door Tesla.
Richmond RCMP is seeking dash cam footage from 6:40 through 7:15 p.m. on Dec. 27 in the following areas:
- Northbound on Highway 99 from the Highway 17 on-ramp to Highway 99 through the Steveston Highway off-ramp from Highway 99
- Steveston Highway off-ramp from Highway 99 to between No. 3 Road and Gilbert Road
“This is a typically a busy stretch of road around 7 p.m. on a weekday,” says Cpl. Adriana O’Malley, Richmond RCMP media relations officer. “We are asking anyone who was in that area around that time to review their dash cam footage or if you witnessed the incident to contact us.”
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or who has information regarding this file, is asked to call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file number 2022-35742.
