A fight erupted in a parking lot of a Mississauga Costco Monday, police said.

Peel Regional Police responded to the scene of a fight on Mavis Road and Britannia Road West between two people — a 37-year-old man, and a 28-year-old man, both from Mississauga. The incident occurred just before 3:30 p.m.

The 28-year-old man was injured after the 37-year-old allegedly assaulted him with his car keys. Police and paramedics investigated the incident and the 28-year-old man was cleared at the scene.

The fight took place in the parking lot of Costco Wholesale at Heartland Town Centre.

“Don’t let a minor circumstance like a parking space escalate into inappropriate behaviour,” Const. Sarah Patten said as she explained the incident. “It’s just not worth it.”

The 37-year-old man is charged with assault with a weapon.

Police received a call about the fight at 3:32 p.m. from several nearby witnesses.
