Gill is listed as the head coach of the Mamba MMA Gym in Abbotsford, where he is described as fighting under the name 'Black Mamba.'
Video of the incident appears to show a woman being dragged as she hangs on to the open driver side door of a damaged black car, with a man behind the wheel.

The vehicle drives over a traffic median before crashing into the Aldergrove Community Police Station.
