Cochrane RCMP are looking for this man who they say pointed a gun at people in another vehicle during an altercation in the town west of Calgary.

Officers were called after the incident happened last Thursday around 3:45 p.m.

"The victim was turning westbound onto Highway 1A from Highway 22, when a dirty, cherry red SUV, possibly a Nissan, passed the victim in the turning lane and pointed a black gun at the occupants threatening them," said RCMP in a release.

"The vehicle was last seen heading westbound on Highway 1A from Cochrane."

The suspect is described as being in his late 40s, wearing a black V-neck T-shirt and a Montreal Canadiens hat.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Cochrane detachment at 403-851-8000.
