Southeast Division patrol officers responded to a report of a road rage incident near 76 Avenue and 87 Street, at approximately 6:30 a.m. today, Tuesday, March 7, 2017.
It was reported to police, that a 34-year-old female motorist had been driving northbound on 87 Street when she approached a silver Chevrolet Aveo that was stopped in the eastbound lane, as she attempted to turn onto 77 Avenue.
The female motorist honked her horn, before passing the vehicle. It is alleged the suspect vehicle then followed the woman to a nearby residential address, where she exited her vehicle to go inside.
The male suspect then allegedly ran up to the female complainant, before striking her on both arms with a crow bar. Paramedics treated and transported the woman to hospital, where she underwent surgery for broken arms.
Investigators are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect male seen in the attached dash camera images. The suspect is described as being a Caucasian male, approximately 30 years old, 6’1”, medium build, with brown hair and blue eyes. The suspect was wearing a grey toque, blue jeans, and a dark coloured jacket at the time of the assault.

The suspect vehicle is described as being a mid-2000’s, silver, four-door Chevrolet Aveo with a seven-digit Alberta licence plate that starts with the letter “B”. The vehicle also has a small fin/spoiler on the rear hatch and steel (winter) rims on the tires.
