WINNIPEG — A man has been arrested after allegedly pointing a gun at another driver while following him along Pembina Highway on Saturday afternoon.
Winnipeg police say the incident happened at around 2 p.m., when a man noticed he was being followed by a former acquaintance in the 1600 block of Pembina. The suspect trailed the victim’s vehicle while pointing a gun at him. Despite attempts to evade the suspect by turning around, the man continued to be pursued.
