Two men are facing charges following an alleged assault in Elmsdale, N.S., and a collision in Windsor Junction, N.S., Tuesday.

Police say officers responded to a report of an assault in progress on the roadway in the 200 block of Highway 214 in Elmsdale around 2 p.m.

“Officers learned two men travelling in a dark-coloured BMW hatchback had stopped their vehicle and assaulted two occupants of a pickup truck after an apparent road rage incident. The suspects also damaged the pickup truck before fleeing the area at a high rate of speed,” read a news release from RCMP.

RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment then responded to a report of a three-vehicle collision involving a dark blue BMW at the intersection of the Fall River Road and Windsor Junction Road around 2:25 p.m.

Police say two men and one woman exited the BMW and fled into a wooded area. No injuries resulting from the collision were reported.

RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment, with assistance from East Hants RCMP, the Halifax Regional Police Canine Unit, a remotely piloted aircraft system and tips from the public, tracked the two men and woman.

“The three were picked up by a Honda Civic on Logan Ln. before officers could arrest them. Officers then located the Civic on Kinsac Rd. where five occupants were arrested,” the release reads.

As a result of the investigation, Rocky Augustus Syliboy, 43, of Sipekne’katik, is charged with:

• assault with a weapon
• fail to comply with release order

Shane Michael Frizzell, 33, of Shubenacadie, is charged with:

• assault with a weapon (two counts)
• unauthorized possession of prohibited/restricted weapons, devices or ammunition
• fail to comply with release order

Both men were held in custody and are scheduled to appear in Shubenacadie provincial court on Thursday.

The other three people were released without charge.

The investigation is ongoing.
