Officers with the West Shore RCMP responded to the disturbance at the intersection of Kelly Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway in Langford around 6:30 p.m.
In a statement, the RCMP detachment said the altercation occurred when the driver of a 1990 Suzuki Carry pickup truck sideswiped a 2010 Toyota Yaris.
When the two vehicles stopped at the intersection, the Suzuki driver approached the driver of the Yaris and tried to pull them out of the vehicle, according to police.
