La GRC demande l’aide du public pour identifier un homme à la suite d’un incident de rage au volant

 

Le 6 juin 2019, Lower Sackville (Nouvelle-Écosse) – La GRC demande l’aide du public pour identifier un homme impliqué dans un incident de rage au volant hier soir sur la rue Nordic à Lower Sackville.

 

Vers 20 h, la GRC du District d’Halifax a reçu un appel relativement à un incident survenu sur la rue Nordic. En arrivant sur les lieux, on a expliqué à la police que plus tôt dans la soirée, une femme se déplaçait en voiture avec son enfant sur la prom. Glendale. La femme s’est arrêtée au passage pour piéton à l’intersection de la prom. Pinehill pour laisser un piéton traverser.

 

L’homme qui conduisait derrière elle a dévié dans l’autre voie en klaxonnant et a crié après elle. La femme a poursuivi sa route après que le piéton a traversé et est entré dans une cour de la rue Nordic.

 

L’homme s’est alors stationné à côté d’elle et est sorti de son véhicule. Il a crié après elle et a donné des coups de poing dans le capot et le toit du véhicule qu’il conduisait, cabossant la surface. L’homme a ensuite donné des coups de poing dans les airs en direction de la femme, puis a donné un coup de poing sur la bordure du trottoir, se blessant peut-être la main.

 

La GRC du District d’Halifax aimerait parler à l’homme impliqué dans l’incident. Il conduisait une Honda Civic grise, ancien modèle, avec déflecteur noir sur le capot. Il s’agit d’un homme de race blanche aux cheveux bruns, d’environ 35 ans.

 

On demande à toute personne qui possède de l’information au sujet de cet incident de communiquer avec la GRC du District d’Halifax au 902 490-5020. Si vous désirez garder l’anonymat, vous pouvez également communiquer avec Échec au crime Nouvelle-Écosse en composant le 1-800-222-8477, en remplissant le formulaire sécurisé à www.crimestoppers.ns.ca ou en utilisant l’application de soumission de renseignements P3.
