A man allegedly brandishing a knife confronted another driver in a road-rage incident in Dauphin early Wednesday.
The incident began in the parking lot of a business, where the incident involving a knife happened, Manitoba RCMP said in a news release.
The victim drove away, and the suspect continued to follow him in a truck at a high rate of speed, RCMP said.
Officers first saw the 22-year-old victim’s vehicle on Mountain Avenue at about 12:45 a.m. Police stopped the truck at the intersection of Railway and Buchanon avenues shortly after.
The victim and the suspect did not know each other, RCMP said.
Officers seized a knife and a small amount of cocaine when searching the truck.
A 29-year-old Valley River man faces several charges, including driving over the legal limit. Two women in the truck were released without being charged.
