How does this work?
A video circulating widely on social media shows men beating a pickup truck driver in Mississauga.
The incident was captured on video on Catalpa Road near Morning Star Drive in Malton and has been posted multiple times this week on the social media platform X.
The date and time of the video were not posted.
Although it is clear that there was an attack on a man, Peel Regional police have no report on the incident.
“At this time, it appears this incident has not been reported to law enforcement and therefore we are unable to provide any updates at this time,” a spokesperson told INsauga.com.
The video begins with a man repeatedly punching another man in the driver’s seat of a pickup truck. Then another man walks by and continues punching the driver.
There are some reports that the men caught a man who was allegedly trying to meet a 15-year-old girl. Other reports indicate that it was a road rage incident.
In the original video, audio can be heard of the men speaking Punjabi.
INsauga.com staff was able to catch some of what the men were saying amidst the shouting and cursing.
A man calls a 15-year-old girl and there is a warning for the pickup driver to stay away. The pickup driver is asked if he understands before the man hits him again and curses at him.
Lawless behavior in Malton, Mississauga.
I was told this was a case of eve teasing. Whatever the issue, anyone taking the law into their own hands is not good. Or is it because people have lost faith in the system?
I’m not sure if this has been reported @PeelPolice photo.twitter.com/zK3zg0blgP
