An elderly Lambton couple was peppered sprayed in what police describe as a "cowardly act" of road rage - the second suspected pepper spraying incident in two weeks.
"I don't know how someone could do something like that," said Sharon, 67, one of the victims.
The incident occurred at about midnight Friday, when Sharon was driving home on Highway 40 with her 70-year-old husband, Ted.
During the drive, a car erratically approached from behind and started flashing its lights, police said.
Eventually, Sharon pulled into a driveway just east of the highway hoping the men would leave them alone.
Instead, the men pulled up behind the couple and approached the car. When Sharon opened her window to confront the men, she was pepper-sprayed in the face.
"It's a cowardly, heinous act," said Lambton OPP Const. John Reurink.
"To do something like that is unconscionable and hopefully it will anger the public and they'll contact us."
