Road Rage Incident Arrest

A 34-year-old Peterborough man is facing charges after a road rage incident Saturday afternoon.

At approximately 3:50pm on August 30, 2025, officers were called to the Bowers Park area about a group causing a disturbance. Upon arrival, officers determined that call was unfounded.  However, in speaking with the group officers learned that there had been a road rage altercation between a motorist and a person on an e-scooter a few hours earlier and that the person on the e-scooter had been hanging around the parking lot.  As the person on the e-scooter was no longer in the area and there was no basis to the call for service, officers left.

Shortly after a second call came in stating that the man on the e-scooter had returned and brandished a knife at the group.  One person received a minor injury during an altercation that ensued.  Officers returned to the scene and took the male into custody as he was being held by the group.

As a result of the investigation, a 34-year-old Peterborough man was arrested and charged with:

• Assault with A Weapon
• Possession of Weapon for Dangerous Purpose

The accused was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in court, October 7, 2025.
