WWE’s Survivor Series takes place in Vancouver this upcoming weekend, but two men gave folks a preview, wrestling in the middle of traffic in Yaletown this past weekend in a road rage incident.
The incident took place near Davie and Pacific Boulevard this past Saturday.
A passerby and local content creator pulled her camera out at the perfect time, as two cars were stopped in the middle of the road. The video shows a white Hyundai and another white vehicle stopped behind it. The video then shows the driver from the car behind the Hyundai grabbing the Hyundai driver by the shirt, and the two men tussle for a few moments.
“The cops are right in the grocery store, too,” the camerawoman says.
Just as she utters those words, a Metro Vancouver Police SUV cruiser pulls up behind the two cars, and its lights begin flashing, leading the two men to break up their road rage wrestling match.
We suddenly see three officers on the scene. The Hyundai driver is then arrested before the video cuts out.
I got permission to share this video FROM a local content creator.

The video, shared on Facebook after the original TikTok got taken down, has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times and has sparked many reactions from Facebook users.
One commenter said, “People need to chill.” Another Facebook user said, “Too many people are short-tempered.”
Another person chimed in, saying that if you resort to fighting, “the least you could do is pull off to the side and not obstruct traffic.”
Britt, the content creator who took the video, told Daily Hive that she forwarded the footage to the responding officer on site.
Metro Vancouver Transit Police told Daily Hive that both men were arrested for assault and handcuffed.
“Investigation later revealed the fight occurred due to a road rage incident. The men were cautioned about their behaviour and released from [the] scene without charges. Transit Police encourages people not to engage other drivers when road rage incidents occur; instead, stay in your vehicle and call 911.”
