A Lower Mainland towing company advertises that they鈥檒l be the bad guys when it comes to removing illegally or dangerously parked vehicles 鈥� and at least one man recently ended up in handcuffs after getting violent over his car being towed.
Vancouver police say the incident happened at around 11 a.m. on Monday (July 13) in a parking lot at 3490 Kingsway Avenue.
Video of the incident was posted on social media, showing an unidentifiable man walking up to a Drake Towing employee in a parking lot and using a hammer to break the window.
While continuing to argue with the tow truck driver, a second man can be seen walking up to the truck and taking a picture of the driver.
According to police, the man鈥檚 car was in the process of being towed. No one was injured.
The man was arrested, and police have since recommended charges of assault with a weapon, uttering threats, mischief and possession of a dangerous weapon to Crown counsel for review.
