Man booked after snowblower battle with elderly woman
LEVIS, Que. -- A snowblower duel between two neighbours was decided with the click of handcuffs after punches were thrown and one man tried to choke an elderly woman.
Levis police said it all started in a swirl of snow Monday night as the elderly woman cleared snow from her front walk but blew the snow onto a neighbour's entrance.
Her 43-year-old neighbour saw that and got out his snowblower to send the fluffy white flakes whirling right back.
"Then the 72-year-old woman grabbed her snowblower again and blew it onto her neighbour," said Alain Gelly, a Levis police spokesman. "The man again blew the snow back. Both of them were blowing snow on each other. It was a real battle of the blowers." The tempest lasted about 10 minutes until both combatants faced each other in the street, their engines roaring.
That's when the 43-year-old man got angry and started insulting the 72-year-old woman before grabbing her by the throat and pushing her to the ground," Gelly said.
The woman's 70-year-old husband saw what was happening from the window of his house and ran out to intervene. But he got punched several times before he could say much.
A neighbour saw the commotion and called police. The 43-year-old man was arrested. He will likely be charged with assault.
