Mission RCMP are searching for two suspects involved in a violent road rage incident that left two young adults hospitalized. The attack occurred shortly after 10 a.m. on SUnday, near the intersection of Bakerview Ave. and Cedar St.The incident began when a 21-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man, both from Mission, were in a grey Honda Civic at a Tim Hortons drive-through on Lougheed Hwy. They honked at a black Chevrolet Malibu in front of them, which was not moving forward. After leaving the drive-through, the Malibu allegedly followed the Civic for two kilometers before its occupants, a man and a woman, exited their vehicle and assaulted the Civic's passengers with a baseball bat.Both victims sustained significant but non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to the hospital. The Malibu was later found unoccupied and seized by police.“This appears to have been an extreme case of road rage,” said Cpl. Harrison Mohr, of Mission RCMP. "No one expects to be assaulted over a honk in a drive-through."The suspects have been identified, and the RCMP are asking for the public’s help in locating them. The male suspect is described as a black man in his 30s, with a medium build and a full beard. The female suspect is a white woman in her 30s, with short blond hair, a sleeve tattoo on her left arm, and a tattoo on her right thigh. Both are known to travel across BC, Alberta, and other western provinces.Anyone with information is urged to contact Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161.
