OTTAWA – Police have charged a man they say has been whipping around Ottawa on his motorcycle pointing a gun at slow drivers.

Ottawa police say they received numerous complaints in June about a motorcycle rider driving erratically in and around the city.

They allege the man pulled a gun on other drivers who didn’t give enough room to pass.

They say the motorcycle’s license plate has either been missing or found to be fake.

A photo released by police shows a rider in a black helmet giving the middle finger on a red Honda motorcycle.

James Cole, 25, from Ottawa, has been charged with two counts of pointing a firearm and two counts of breach of probation.
