The driver of the truck pulled over in the area of Stoney Trail S.W. and 162nd Avenue S.W. to let the SUV pass.

Police said instead, the man parked behind the truck and exited his vehicle. The driver of the truck also got out of his vehicle and an altercation broke out.

When another motorist stopped to help, both men returned to their vehicles. The victim drove away, but the suspect continued to follow him.

After calling 911 to report the incident, the victim drove to a fast-food restaurant in the 300 block of Shawville Boulevard S.E. to wait for police.

The Pathfinder was last seen travelling northbound on Everstone Drive S.W., according to police.

The suspect is described as a man, approximately 40 to 50 years old, who is 6’5” tall with an olive complexion, slim build, short salt and pepper hair and a beard.

At the time of the incident, he was wearing business attire, including a suit vest. Police also provided a photo of the front of the suspect’s vehicle.

Investigators are searching for witnesses or dash-cam footage of the incident. They are asking anyone who was in the following areas on May 13 to contact police:

Westbound Stoney Trail S.W. near TsuuT’ina Trail S.W. between 3:30 and 3:45 p.m.; and

Stoney Trail S.W. at 162nd Avenue S.W. to Everstone Drive S.W. between 3:30 and 4 p.m.
