The alleged assault happened in a church parking lot, which was empty at the time.
Police are not commenting on what may have led to the incident, but officers say they arrested a woman on scene for the alleged assault.
She has since been released and is expected to appear in court.
“This individual has not been charged, so you know there’s privacy concerns if I do share more details, so I won’t be able to get into details at this point,” Sahak said.
The driving school involved issued a statement, saying they are deeply concerned about what happened.
“We strongly condemn the racism and aggressive behaviour depicted in the video,” the statement read.
“The safety and well-being of our team members and customers remain the priority. Out of respect for the privacy of those involved and the ongoing police process, we are unable to comment further on the specific circumstances.”
RCMP is asking anyone who witnessed the incident to speak with investigators.
