Two men were arrested by Montreal police Friday, after an alleged case of road rage Friday afternoon.
According to Montreal police spokesperson Daniel Lacoursière, the incident began at around 5 p.m. during rush-hour traffic, when two men got out of a vehicle and approached a 27-year-old woman’s car.
“There was an exchange between the victim and the two individuals,” Lacoursière said. “It seems like one of the two men had a knife.”

After the altercation, the pair returned to their vehicle and drove off.
The victim followed the duo to a residence on Tellier Street, near Baldwin Street, in Montreal’s Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough. She notified police while following the vehicle.
When officers arrived at the scene, they arrested a 21-year-old man. But a 28-year-old man refused to leave the residence.

The suspect came out on his own 11:30 p.m. after police obtained a warrant to enter the premises, Lacoursière said.
The 21-year-old was released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.
The second man is being detained and is expected to appear in court via video-conference Saturday afternoon.
There were no reports of injuries stemming from the incident.
