Road Rage Incident Escalates to Firearm Threat
Toronto police have launched an intensive search for a dirt bike rider who allegedly threatened to shoot another motorist during a frightening road rage confrontation in North York.

Details of the Confrontation
According to police reports, the altercation began when the dirt bike rider and another driver became involved in a traffic dispute.
