Lambton County OPP are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect following an incident in Grand Bend over the weekend.

On Saturday, at 1:10 a.m., police say they were contacted regarding an erratic driver on Main Street who was said to be yelling racial comments at pedestrians.

Officers believe the same suspect was later involved in a verbal altercation that led to the suspect striking an individual’s vehicle in a local parking lot before fleeing the scene.

According to police, a similar incident occurred a short time later on Mollard Line where a suspect struck another vehicle multiple times before fleeing again.
