Investigators say the victims’ vehicle was equipped with both external and internal dash cameras that recorded the confrontation.Video footage shows a man approach the victims’ vehicle and punch the driver’s side window, shattering the glass.

Both the driver and passenger were injured during the incident..Police were able to identify the passenger in the suspect vehicle as the registered owner of the car. However, investigators say that despite repeated requests — including attempts made just days ago — the owner has refused to identify the man seen in the video.“The video is hard to watch, and the violence displayed is simply inexcusable,” said Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Mike Kalanj. “We are confident that someone will be able to identify the suspect, and we ask that they come forward and speak to our investigators.”Police are urging anyone who recognizes the suspect or has information that could help identify him to contact Burnaby RCMP and reference file number 2025-29201.
