Provincial police have arrested a man in his 40s on suspicion of assaulting a woman during heavy traffic on the Ile-aux-Tourtes Bridge this week.
A video obtained by CTV News shows the woman, Stephanie Ross, lying on the ground after allegedly being punched and knocked unconscious by the man.
The footage also depicts the suspect and two construction workers attempting to reason with him.
The incident reportedly followed a fender bender on the bridge. Ross has been trying to piece together what happened after being released from the hospital.
"I remember seeing in my mirror some guy coming out of his truck, coming, running towards my truck. And I was thinking, okay, he's coming to see me because something happened in the back of me," Ross said while recuperating at home with a concussion and other related injuries.
However, she says she never had time to discuss what happened with her aggressor.
"At that point, he was starting to get very, very firmly aggressive. He was already calling me names, really bad names," she recounted.
