On his way to a photo shoot at Redwood Park in South Surrey, Robin Nuber unexpectedly found himself in the midst of a dramatic incident. As he drove, a man clung onto his car, fleeing from another man brandishing a knife.
“We had to keep driving because he just wouldn’t stop chasing us. Eventually, he gave up, and that’s when we saw him discard the knife in the woods,” recounted Nuber.
Sergeant Lindsey Houghton of the Surrey Police Service stated, “Richard Evoy, a 37-year-old man, has been arrested on various criminal charges, including assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes, and uttering threats. He is currently in custody.”
Authorities clarified that Evoy, the man being pursued, and the woman in the video are acquainted with each other, suggesting this was not a random incident.
“Richard Evoy has a history of run-ins with the law, mainly related to property crimes. Thanks to swift reactions and quick thinking, the victim was safely rescued before police arrived,” added Houghton.
Evoy is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
Nuber, still shaken by the unexpected turn of events, reflected on the surreal nature of the situation he had stumbled upon.
“It was unbelievable to witness such a scene, especially in broad daylight. Even the first responders and officers were taken aback. It felt like a scene out of a movie – everyone was asking to watch the video again,” shared Nuber.
Despite the ordeal, Nuber managed to proceed with his scheduled family photo shoot.
“I had to apologize to the family for the delay but they were understanding. They even found some lovely spots in the park for the photos. It turned out to be a wholesome experience in the end.”
