In the video, which is now being posted on other various social media, the driver appears throw many items, including a bucket with other items in it.

"He was driving in the middle of the road, at first we thought he was trying to merge. But he was actually deliberately driving like a menace. He was giving everyone the middle finger," reads the Reddit post. 

One commenter on the Reddit post claimed that earlier in the day, the same person hit two cars in a parking lot (one of which had a family in it), entered their business, mumbled a bunch, spilled water all over the floor, and left. Someone entered the comment thread, claiming they were the family that got hit.

They also claim the person was caught by RCMP. Black Press Media has reached out to Kelowna RCMP to confirm if the person was caught and for more information.
