Police say a total of 10 charges have been laid against a male cyclist after what they're referring to as a "road rage" incident in west Windsor, Ont.

It happened around 1 a.m. Monday on Curry Avenue near Riverside Drive.

According to authorities, four people in a car got into an argument with a cyclist attempting to cross the street.

That's when, they say, the cyclist followed their vehicle to a residence on Curry Avenue where it's alleged he damaged three parked vehicles and confronted the vehicle owners with an unidentified weapon — then fled the scene. 

No one was hurt.

Officers located and arrested the accused a short time later on Lens Avenue near Windsor Regional Hospital.

He faces four counts of assault with a weapon, four counts of uttering death threats and two counts of mischief under $5,000.
