Vancouver police have recommended a charge of intimidation against a 52-year-old photographer whose car allegedly struck actor Ryan Reynolds.
Constable Brian Montague said the men were involved in a confrontation on Friday evening and Reynolds was hit as the man tried to escape from an underground hotel car park.
Montague said on Monday that officers have spoken with Reynolds, who had a sore knee and back but was well enough to return to work the next day.
Montague said police spoke with several people, pulled security video and identified a suspect “quite early”.
He said a man was arrested at the police station and remains in custody. His car has been seized.
Montague noted a charge of intimidation is uncommon and applies to someone who persistently follows someone or watches where a person works or lives.
Vancouver-born Reynolds is in the city to film his new movie Deadpool.
