The Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD) is investigating a Felonious Assault that occurred during a traffic altercation on November 6, 2024, around 1:00 a.m. at the intersection of Main St and Madison St. The victim reported they were stopped at a flashing yellow light behind a vehicle that was not moving. They made an offensive hand gesture toward that driver, who then exited their vehicle, removed the victim from their seat, punched them in the face, and threatened them with what the victim believed was a handgun. The suspect was driving a silver sedan and fled southbound on Main St. Preliminary investigations indicate that this is an isolated incident, with no indication of an ongoing threat to the community.

This is an ongoing investigation, and details are still being confirmed. If you have any information, please contact the AAPD tip line at 734.794.6939 or email tips@a2gov.org. You can also call DPSS at 734.763.1131.
