In it, another driver pulls his car around MacDonald’s and stops on the road in front of him before getting out and unleashing a verbal tirade because he feels MacDonald cut him off.
“Look man, I don’t want any trouble, alright?” MacDonald can be heard saying as the man, identified in a CBC report as Erik Bohnsack, approaches.
“If you can’t see to drive, don’t drive,” Bohnsack says. “You got it?”
Bohnsack continues by accusing MacDonald of driving dangerously with kids in the car.
MacDonald, in an apparent attempt to defuse the situation, says he’s sorry. Before Bohnsack walks back to his car, honking can be heard as traffic moves around him.
According to CBC, Bohnsack apologized for his reaction, which he called “out of line,” and said it would “never happen again.”
Global News reached out to MacDonald for comment but did not hear back.
