No one was injured during the incident.

The suspect is described as five feet eight inches to five feet 11 inches tall, with a medium build and a deep voice.

The suspect was also wearing a black nylon jacket with a hood, “BMW Motorsports” on the chest and a Puma insignia on the right arm.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Airdrie RCMP at 403-945-7200 or their local police.
