Security camera footage from a parking lot in a mountain shopping plaza shows a 64-year-old man driving a minvan being assaulted during a ‘right of way’ dispute.

Hamilton police are still looking for the suspect, who they suspect to be in his mid-20s, that allegedly attacked another man on Friday, June 6, 2019.

The incident reportedly happened shortly after 4:30 p.m. in the Mountain Plaza Mall at 659 Upper James Street.

The video shows the minivan driver attempting to leave a parking lane and cutting off a sedan that appeared to be backing out of a parking spot.

A man is then seen getting out of the passenger seat of the sedan and walking over to the driver-side window of the van, which was attempting a left turn.
