The victim said while she was driving on the road near 7th Mile, the suspect’s car suddenly overtook her car to avoid a police roadblock. She then honked the suspect’s car.

This led to the suspect breaking the victim’s car side mirror with his bare hand at first, before taking a kitchen knife from his car and continuing to break her car’s side mirror. The victim suffered injuries to her hand and face as a result of the broken mirror.

The suspect was arrested by police on Wednesday night. — DayakDaily
