2025 Richmond Hill Road Rage Incident Sparks Suspect Search

On June 21, 2025, a road rage encounter in the parking lot near Yonge Street and May Avenue in Richmond Hill, Ontario, escalated into a violent altercation that left a victim with stab wounds and prompted a criminal investigation by York Regional Police.

The incident began when officers received reports of a confrontation between two men. When they arrived, they discovered a male victim who had sustained serious but non‑life‑threatening stab injuries. Witnesses said the victim had previously been involved in a road‑rage dispute that resulted in the opponent leaving the scene before law enforcement could intervene.

Investigators learned that the suspect returned together with two additional men. The three men allegedly assaulted the victim, and during the assault the victim was stabbed. While one suspect was arrested at the scene, the other two fled.

Subsequent inquiries led to the arrest of a second suspect on May 31. Police are now seeking the third suspect, a 30‑year‑old man named Seyed‑Houman Mirmoghtadaei, who is wanted for attempted murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

Authorities have urged anyone with information to contact York Regional Police. They have warned that anyone who aids the suspect could face prosecution. The suspect is encouraged to turn themselves in and seek legal counsel.

York Regional Police’s pursuit underscores the seriousness of road‑rage incidents and the potential for escalation into lethal violence. The department stresses the need for cautious driving and the importance of remaining calm in traffic conflicts to prevent similar outcomes.

The incident prompted an immediate review of traffic safety policies in the region. Police spokesperson said that the area has seen an uptick in road‑rages in recent months.

The victim, whose identity has not been released, is receiving medical care, and early reports indicate that he is recovering.

Police are currently interviewing witnesses and reviewing camera footage from nearby traffic cameras.
