Police are looking for the public’s help in tracking down a suspect involved in a road rage incident in Burnaby.

The incident dates back to earlier this spring on Sunday, April 19, 2026.

Burnaby RCMP were responding to reports from a victim who claimed they were verbally threatened by another driver.

The suspect allegedly made gestures with a knife during the road rage encounter. The victim got some photos before the suspect fled the scene.

Pictures shared by the RCMP make that allegation a little more serious.

RCMP shared that the incident occurred on Boundary Road near Grandview Highway.

The victim’s vehicle also had two passengers.

“At one point, the suspect was close enough to attempt to open the passenger side door of the victim’s vehicle from his own seat several times, before producing a knife and making threatening comments,” Burnaby RCMP said.

While police have taken “several investigational steps,” they need the public’s assistance for the next phase.

“Our actions and words have consequences, and nobody should have to go through what the victims in this incident went through,” said Corporal Mike Kalanj with the Burnaby RCMP department.

“Please contact our investigators if you recognize the suspect or have any information.”

Anyone who might have information that can identify the suspect or that can assist investigators is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999, quoting file number 2026-13301.

You can also make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
