VICTORIA – Victoria Police said a mother and daughter were not physically injured after a driver repeatedly rushed at them in Esquimalt.
Police said the incident happened near the intersection of Craigflower Road and Arcadia Street on Tuesday afternoon, as the woman and her daughter were cycling in the area.
Victims told police a white man driving a sports car walked up to the couple and attempted to get them off the road around 4:30 p.m.
After passing the victims, police said the man turned so they could walk towards the mother and daughter again, this time swerving towards them as they cycled on a cycle path . As he drove towards the couple, police said the man was shouting “hateful and racist slurs” at the couple.
Police are now looking for the man in what is described as a hate-motivated incident.
The man is described as a white male in his mid-20s with blond hair who wore a baseball cap at the time. The vehicle he was driving is described as a black sports car, which could be an Acura, with red seats.
Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident is asked to call Victoria Police at 250-995-7654 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
