Police say an arrest has been made in connection with the attempted stabbing of a man who confronted a suspect who was driving dangerously in Scarborough over the weekend.
Police say an arrest has been made in connection with an apparent road rage incident in Scarborough that was captured on video and widely circulated on social media.
According to police, at around 10:35 a.m. on Sunday, officers were called to the area of Danforth and Kennedy roads for a report of a person with a knife.
Police allege that two men were seen driving dangerously in the area when another driver got out of his vehicle to confront them.
Police said the other driver also exited his vehicle and attempted to stab the victim during an altercation. The passenger of the suspect’s vehicle also threatened the victim, police added.
Video circulating online of the incident shows a man pulling over in a live lane of traffic and getting out of his vehicle with a knife in hand. The man is then seen rushing toward a person who is filming the incident. The person holding the camera is seen backing away as the driver makes repeated stabbing motions in their direction.
Police have confirmed that the incident captured on video is the same one that they are investigating.
In a news release issued Tuesday, police said 21-year-old Ajax resident Rishabh Barua was arrested shortly after the incident on Sunday.
