Man rips wiper off car, rams truck into vehicle in Abbotsford mall parking lot

ABBOTSFORD (NEWS 1130) — Witnesses are being sought after a man ripped a windshield wiper off a car, then rammed a truck into that vehicle in an Abbotsford mall parking lot a week ago.

According to the Abbotsford Police Department, the hit-and-run and road rage incident happened around 6:55 p.m. at Meadow Fair Mall on South Fraser Way.

A grey Nissan Frontier pick-up followed a grey Kia RIO 5 into the mall parking lot.

“The victim knew that he was being followed, so he pulled into a parking spot in a well-lit area in front of the Dollarama store,” says a release from Sgt. Judy Bird.

The Nissan Frontier parked a few stalls over. The driver then exited the truck and started kicking the car, yelling threats of violence and derogatory comments, Bird adds.

When an older couple on the sidewalk tried to intervene, police say the driver of the truck threatened one of them, a man.

The truck driver next ripped the rear windshield wiper off the car, and rammed his trick into the back of the Kia before driving off.

“Luckily, no one was injured during this incident,” Bird says.

The truck driver is described as a white man in his late 20s-mid 30s. He has short ash blonde hair and stands about 6’0”. He was unshaven and wore a black hoodie, black hat, and dark pants.

Investigators have spoken to the registered owner of the truck, but have yet to identify the driver.

Investigators have also spoken to witnesses, who indicate many other people were in the mall parking lot and may have video of the incident.

Anyone with more information about the incident is asked to call 604-859-5225.
