Video of the incident has turned up on social media showing a black SUV hitting the man sending him flying. Williams and the victim first encountered each other in Grand Bay where words were exchanged . Then Williams followed the man and his friend for half an hour to Cold Brook Crescent where he deliberately ran into the man and then drove away. The victim’s injuries were not life-threatening.
