Group swarm and repeatedly punch driver in disturbing Mississauga road rage incident
A jaw-dropping road rage video circulating on social media shows a group of men ditching their vehicles to repeatedly punch the driver of a pickup truck at a Mississauga intersection.
The roughly 90-second clip picks up in the middle of the incident, which occurred at the intersection of Catalpa Road and Morning Star Drive in Malton.
The video shows three cars stopped at the intersection for an unknown reason, and proceeds to capture two men repeatedly punching the driver of a pickup truck.
The group of men are seen exchanging heated words and pacing between their vehicles as a nearby resident films the incident.
Lawless behaviour in Malton (Mississauga).

I am told that this was a case of eve teasing. Whatever the issue was, anyone taking the law in their hands is not good. Or is this because people have lost trust in the system?
Not sure if this was reported to @PeelPolice pic.twitter.com/zK3zg0blgP
blogTO reached out to Peel Regional Police to confirm if they received any reports regarding this particular road rage, but officers did not have any further information to provide.
Unfortunately, this isn't the only tense road rage video to make rounds on social media over the past few weeks.
In a separate incident in June near Kennedy and Danforth Roads in Scarborough, a man was filmed ditching his vehicle to swing their knife at a victim repeatedly.
