Calgary police say they are looking for a man who was captured on video punching through a woman’s vehicle window in a grocery store parking lot.
Video taken Friday by a woman in the parking lot of the Real Canadian Superstore on Country Village Road NE appeared to show a man punch and shatter the front passenger-side window of her vehicle while she pleaded with him to stop.
The person who posted the video to social media claims the alleged victim is her friend, and the man who attacked her was a “random guy.”
Warning: The video below contains strong language
From a DM
"Yesterday afternoon my friend was in the superstore country hills parking lot & honked at a car who was in the middle of the road texting, then went around to park, then this random guy who wasn’t even in the car she honked at attacked her vehicle.." #yyc 1/2 pic.twitter.com/wyj1kBEap9

It happened in northeast Calgary on Friday, and the video spread throughout social media in the following days.
The social media post claims the woman who was attacked was looking for a parking spot and honked at another driver in her way, idling in the lot. When she circled around the idle car to a parking spot, the man — who “wasn’t even in the car she honked at” — attacked her vehicle.
The post adds before the driver began recording the man tried to open her driver’s-side door to “fight her.”
The social media post was later updated, claiming the man had been arrested, however, Calgary police say the investigation is still ongoing.
Officers tell CityNews the man shown in the video may be known to them, and police “dealt with an individual on a separate charge.”
