Prince George RCMP has identified a man who's the subject of a video that shows him licking door handles and swearing at others in line at a local bank.
Numerous people on social media uploaded videos of the man storming off outside of what appears to be a TD Canada building and is seen licking the front doors while swearing constantly at others.
The original Facebook post describes the victim as angry over the new hours at a Prince George bank due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (via Screenshot)A Facebook user explains he was patiently waiting in line, adding "this individual lost his mind and started spitting, coughing and licking the door handle."
"Why you may ask?," his Facebook post from Wednesday (April 1) continues.
"Because TD, along with many other businesses, are devoting the first hour of operations to seniors and people in need. Apparently this is "unacceptable" and "bulls**t", so buddy decided to make a fuss about it and endanger the lives around him with his actions," he says.
"The manager and the employees handled this situation perfectly. The police have been notified with his license plate number and have been sent a copy of this video."
Prince George RCMP has confirmed the incident to PrinceGeorgeMatters and the man in the video has been identified.
An investigation is ongoing.
TD Canada has also responded to Wednesday's incident.
It encourages customers to take advantage of online banking while self-isolating themselves at home during this time of crisis.
However, the bank says it'll continue its dedicated hour of service to seniors, those who need extra assistance and in area of greater risk.
"If you must visit a branch in the coming days for an urgent matter, please be aware that those at higher risk will have exclusive access for the first hour of the day," says Andrew Pilkington, EVP Branch Banking, in a statement.
"When this unfortunate situation is over, we will warmly welcome our customers back through our doors to serve and advise them in person, but for now, please bank with us online, on your mobile device, or through an ATM. It is critical that Canadians stay home as much as possible. We continue to see high traffic in our branches for matters that are not urgent, or can be done digitally or at an ATM, such as manual updates on Passbooks, confirming transactions, making cash withdrawals or exchanging foreign currencies."
