Richmond RCMP seek dashcam footage in road rage bear spray attack

RCMP in Richmond, B.C., are appealing for dashcam footage after an alleged road rage bear spray attack last month.

The victim told police both he and a black Hyundai sedan exited Highway 99 on the Steveston Highway off-ramp on the evening of Dec. 27, and continued westbound on the Steveston Highway.

The other driver was swerving between lanes behind him until just past the No. 4 Road, the victim added, then the driver pulled in front of him and cut him off.

“The victim stated at this point, both he and the other driver stopped and exited their vehicles, which is when the driver of the Hyundai allegedly sprayed the victim with bear spray,” Richmond RCMP said in a Monday news release.

The driver then reportedly got back in his vehicle and drove off westbound on the highway.
