Police in North Bay are looking for a suspect following an incident May 29 involving a pedestrian and a pickup at the corner of Trout Lake Road and Laurentian Avenue.
The incident took place around 4:40 when the driver of the 2021 Dodge Ram orange truck was waiting at the light to turn right.
'He observed a male walk into the side of his truck near the rear passenger wheel area,' police said in a news release Tuesday.
'After hitting the truck, the male then threw his drink at the truck. When the victim got out to check on the male, the male approached him with a knife in his hand advising he was going to stab the victim.'
The driver then stepped back as the suspect ran his knife 'along the entire driver's side of the vehicle, causing damage,' police said.
'The suspect then left the area on foot, eastbound on Trout Lake Road.'
Police are hoping to speak with anyone who witnessed the incident or who has security cam footage from the area around the time it took place.
