The video depicts a woman pushing a stroller in the middle of an intersection as a dark car approaches, accelerates and collides with the stroller, pushing it down the street and out of the camera frame. The incident happened around 2:40 p.m. on Nov. 16 at the corner of Bloomfield and Lajoie Aves. in Outremont. It was captured on a home surveillance camera and the video has gone viral after being posted online. The car was driving north on Bloomfield, while the woman was crossing Lajoie from east to west. The one-year-old child in the stroller was not injured, nor was the woman pushing it. Police say that lack of injury led the force to decide not to immediately publicize the event the day it happened.
WATCH:
The police explanantion for not releasing the video seems odd to me. Even if the license plate number is not visible, people who are knowledgable about car models should be able make out what model it is. And even if they can’t, the car is definitely a recognizable car, and someone might recognize whose car it is.
