Police are searching for a suspect who allegedly threatened a driver with a knife during a road rage incident in Burnaby.
The incident occurred earlier this spring on Sunday, April 19th.
Officers responded to a report from a victim who had allegedly been “verbally threatened by another driver”. The suspect allegedly made gestures with a knife during the encounter, which occurred on Boundary Road near Grandview Highway.
“The victim was able to obtain limited photos before the suspect fled the area,” said Burnaby RCMP in a release.

“There were also two passengers in the victim’s vehicle,” added police. “At one point the suspect was close enough to attempt to open the passenger side door of the victim’s vehicle from his own seat several times, before producing a knife and making threatening comments.”
After taking a number of investigative steps, police are now asking the public for help.
“Our actions and words have consequences, and nobody should have to go through what the victims in this incident went through,” said Cpl. Mike Kalanj with the Burnaby RCMP. “Please contact our investigators if you recognize the suspect or have any information.”
Anyone who can identify the suspect or has any information is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999 and quote file number 2026-13301.
