A nasty road rage brawl in Saanich is making the social media rounds.
The incident happened at Ravine Way between the northbound and southbound lanes of Highway 17 and was captured on video Monday afternoon as dozens of witnesses watched an argument between two men turn violent.
In the video, posted to Facebook by a witness, two men throw punches and grapple with each other before others step in to break up the altercation.
“Both men were agitated at something that had occurred on the roadway. They pulled into the parking lot and engaged with one another and then started a fight,” said Saanich police spokesman Sgt. Jereme Leslie.
It’s not known what sparked the fight. Police say both men involved gave two very different accounts of what happened.
“Individuals can certainly, if they see something they don’t agree with on the roadway, call police, not get involved, be an excellent witness, take a licence plate number and give as much detail to the police as possible,” adds Sgt. Jereme Leslie.
“No party that was involved in the fight wished to pursue a criminal charge and both parties wished to move on from this event. We’ve since concluded our investigation.””
