Kingston police are looking for a man who allegedly intimidated a couple while posing as a police officer in a Kingston road rage incident.

According to a police news release, on Friday evening a woman and her husband were driving west on Unity Road towards Perth Road when a man going westbound started tailgating them.

He allegedly yelled at the couple as he passed their vehicle, and, police say, swerved towards their car, nearly causing an accident.

The couple pulled over at a business at the corner of Unity and Perth roads where police say the man followed them.

He then reportedly claimed he was a police officer while wearing a blue shirt with yellow writing that read, “POLICE.”

He is is described as Caucasian, 45-55 years of age, with a ruddy complexion, medium build, and long black hair that was slicked back.

The couple said his front teeth were either missing or visibly decayed. He was driving an older grey Pontiac Grand Prix.
