Police have charged a 20-year-old man with impaired driving following an altercation in downtown Brockville on Sunday.
Brockville police say they received a call in relation to a road rage incident at around 3 a.m. in the area of Shoppers Drug Mart on King Street West.
Police say two groups of people had an altercation, which led to them to drive and follow each other through the downtown area.
