Tips are pouring in about the suspect in a violent road rage incident that left an Edmonton mother with two broken arms.
Edmonton police released images from the woman’s dashboard camera late Tuesday afternoon showing what police believe is the vehicle involved in a “vicious” beating.
Police are searching for a man and a mid-2000s silver four-door Chevrolet Aveo.
“A lot of tips have been generated,” police spokesman Scott Pattison said Wednesday morning. “Police are investigating each one of them.”
The man is described as white, in his 30s, six-foot-one, medium build, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a grey toque, blue jeans and a dark jacket.
The Aveo has a seven-digit Alberta licence plate that starts with the letter B. It also has a small fin or spoiler on the rear hatch and steel rims on the tires, police said.
Officers were called to the area of 76 Avenue and 87 Street NW around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday after the 34-year-old woman said she was attacked by a man with a crowbar.
It started when she was driving north on 87 Street when she pulled up behind a Chevrolet Aveo that was stopped in her lane.
The woman honked her horn as she turned onto 77 Avenue and passed the vehicle before driving to a nearby residence.
When she got out of her vehicle, a man ran up to her and hit her repeatedly on both arms with a crowbar, police said.
Police believe the suspect was aiming for the woman’s head and she used her arms to block the hit.
The woman was was taken to hospital and underwent surgery for two broken arms on Tuesday.
