According to Corporal Michael McLaughlin, a passenger in a car claims the two young female pedestrians gave her the finger.

“One of those young women allegedly punched the complainant through an open window,” said McLaughlin.

“Obviously we’re only getting one side of this story. We’d like to speak to the two other women who were involved in this file or any witness who saw this event or recognizes the suspect.”

The woman who was allegedly punched managed to take a photo of the suspect while she ran away. The suspect’s back is to the camera but police are highlighting these specific details:

• A possibly Caucasian female of medium height
• Appears to be in her late teens
• Long blonde hair, with dark roots, worn in a high ponytail
• Wearing a pair of yellow, red, and black Nike Jordan AJ1 Mids, tight grey shorts and a tight, long-sleeved black top
