Police said a 34-year-old woman was driving to her home and honked her horn while passing a car that was stopped on a street. When she got out of her car outside her home, a man ran up and struck her on both arms with a crowbar.

The woman was taken to hospital where she underwent surgery and spent the following week in hospital.

Global News spoke with the victim in April and she said she was still haunted by the incident.
