The male suspect was cycling east bound on the south side of Bath Road just east of Portsmouth Avenue just before 9 p.m. that day. The victim, who was walking with his wife in the area at the time, became involved in a confrontation with the suspect, which escalated into an altercation.

The suspect is described as a white male with a skinny build and a narrow face. He was wearing dark-coloured baggy shorts, a baggy black tee shirt and a baseball cap, and was riding a mountain bike that was not a bright colour, according to a press release from Kingston Police.
