Police say they are seeking the driver of a sedan tied to a Sept. 1 incident in St. Catharines that ended with an injured e-bike rider being sent to hospital.

Investigators allege a 26-year-old man operating a grey Volkswagen Rabbit engaged with another person driving a white Nissan during a “road rage” incident while both were travelling westbound on Bradley Road just before 3:30 p.m. a week ago Wednesday.

Police say the bike rider was hit by the Rabbit when it lost control while attempting to make a right-hand turn on to Mountain Street.

“The Volkswagen lost control, struck a curb then collided with an e-bike being operated by a 50-year-old male that was travelling southbound on Mountain Street,” Niagara Regional Police (NRPS) said in a release.
