Arrest made in road rage incident
A 66-year-old Montreal man was arrested following and apparent case of road rage last Wednesday.
A police officer was in the middle of a radar operation at the corner of Tecumseh Street and Brunswick Boulevard in Pointe Claire, when, at about 2:25 p.m., a 19-year-old motorist pulled up to request help. He told the police officer he had just been hit by a truck, which happened to be passing by. The officer intercepted the truck to question the driver, who said he didn’t realize he had hit another car.
However, after more questioning, it turned out the truck driver was angry after the 19-year-old cut in front of him before the two reached the red light. Out of frustration, the 66-year-old used his truck to push the other driver into the middle of the intersection. The man was charged with hit and run and assault with a deadly weapon, which, in this case, was the truck.
No-break break-in
A Ste. Anne de Bellevue resident was surprised to find a man had snuck into her kitchen while she was unloading groceries last Wednesday at about 12:50 p.m.
The woman returned to her Ste. Marie Road home and began bringing the bags from her car into her kitchen, leaving the front door open. But before going to get a second load out of the trunk, she went to use the washroom.
In the meantime, a man had walked through the open front door and was standing in the kitchen when the woman returned. According to Station 1 Const. Chantal Morneau, the man said he was looking for a restaurant when the woman asked him what he was doing in her house.
