NEWS RELEASE
BARRIE POLICE SERVICE
*************************
Police responded to the area of Hwy 90 south of Miller Drive in the City of Barrie Wednesday afternoon upon receiving reports of an altercation between a motorist and a construction worker.
A construction worker was nearly hit by a vehicle when he stepped too far into oncoming traffic.
The driver of the vehicle quickly swerved to avoid hitting him, and when doing so the worker threw a spray can at his vehicle.
As a result an argument ensued between the two men which led to the worker further damaging the vehicle as a result of punching it.
Neither party sustained any injuries, although the 47-year-old male worker was charged with mischief and will appear in a Barrie court in May.
