Central Saanich Police have identified and arrested the man seen damaging a car in a social media video post last week.

The 31-year old Central Saanich resident was arrested without incident and will appear in court Oct. 25. His name is not being released until charges are approved.

The video, posted by Chris Mutrie on behalf of his brother Steven Bengal B次元官网网址� who shot the video which was subsequently posted on the Peninsula B次元官网网址 Review Facebook page B次元官网网址� shows the man riding up to the car, kicking it, swearing at the driver and then reaching into the car itself.

Bengal told the PNR he was provoked by the cyclist, who pulled in front of him without warning.

B次元官网网址淚 hit my horn and said B次元官网网址榡ust shoulder checkB次元官网网址� and B次元官网网址榓 hand signal is in order, budB次元官网网址橞次元官网网址� Bengal said.

Seeing the manB次元官网网址檚 reaction and anticipating an exchange of words, Bengal said he decided to video the interaction.

Stopped at the light, the driver started to video their interaction as the cyclist caught up to the vehicle, stopped and proceeded to kick and car and yell at the driver.

Bengal said he dialed 9-1-1 after the man failed to grab the phone from his hand. He added he described to the emergency dispatcher what had happened and then drove around, looking to find where the cyclist had gone.

Corporal Dan Cottingham of the Central Saanich Police Service says another officer saw the video and recognized the man on the bike. He said the man is known to police B次元官网网址� meaning heB次元官网网址檚 had interactions with the police in the past.

B次元官网网址淗e is certainly arrestable for the damage heB次元官网网址檚 done to the vehicle,B次元官网网址� Cottingham said.

The victim has been interviewed by police, he continued. According to the statement, both the driver and the cyclist were northbound on Oldfield Road in Central Saanich. The cyclist reportedly swerved out in front of the car without warning. The driver honked the horn and yelled at the cyclist, while continuing on to the intersection of Oldfield and Keating Cross Road.

Cottingham said in a statement that the cyclist was arrested without incident Thursday, Sept. 14. He said police want to hear his side of the story as well, to get a better picture of what happened.

However Cottingham said the man is still responsible for his own actions and could be facing charges of mischief B次元官网网址� and perhaps even assault.

Cottingham said drivers and cyclists both need to obey the rules of the road in order for both to co-exist peacefully.

B次元官网网址淚t comes down to patience and mutual respect.B次元官网网址�

Bengal said he had cracked ribs from an accident while on a friendB次元官网网址檚 motorcycle and as a result, didnB次元官网网址檛 get out of his car during the incident. He said the cyclist caused damage to the back panel and passenger side door of his vehicle.

B次元官网网址淭he funniest thing? About three weeks ago I had hit a raccoon and I had front end damage to my car,B次元官网网址� Bengal said. B次元官网网址淚f heB次元官网网址檚 got some anger issues, letB次元官网网址檚 get him some help. If I did something wrong, I will gladly take it, but you gotta take your lumps, too, because thatB次元官网网址檚 not the way to resolve situations.B次元官网网址�
