Punch thrown at a Port Coquitlam intersection between a pedestrian and a passenger

  • Punch thrown at a Port Coquitlam intersection between a pedestrian and a passenger

Earlier this month, a heated exchange between a pedestrian and a passenger in a vehicle ended with a punch being thrown at an intersection in Port Coquitlam. 

Police said the incident took place at approximately 8:15 in the evening on July 4 at Lougheed Highway and Shaughnessy Street, when the complainant said two females gave her the finger.

The situation escalated and one of the pedestrians struck the motorist through an open window. “Obviously, we’re only getting one side of the story,” said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael Mclaughlin. “We’d like to speak to the two other women who were involved in this file or any witness who saw this event or recognizes the suspect.”

Mounties have a picture of one of the suspects taken as she was running away from the scene. While her back is turned, police said the image contains some important details that could identify the person.

Investigators believe she is a Caucasian female of medium height, who appears to be in her late teens. She has long blonde hair with dark roots worn in a high ponytail and was wearing a pair of bright yellow, red and black Nike Jordan AJ1 Mids, tight grey shorts and a tight, long-sleeved black top.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and ask for Const. Bret Roach.
