A 50-year-old man is facing charges after a motorcyclist was terrorized and run off Yellowhead Trail Monday.

The motorist was reported to police around 4 p.m. after other drivers saw a vehicle pushing the motorcyclist from behind before he was run off the road eastbound on Yellowhead.

"The suspect allegedly followed the motorcyclist, pushing him up the road, until eventually, the motorcyclist lost control and flew off of his bike, into a ditch," said cop spokeswoman Lisa Sobchyshyn.

"He sustained numerous injuries, really serious scrapes and requires surgery."

Several witnesses also dialed 911 to report a pickup truck tailgating and weaving dangerously through traffic.

"Witnesses told police the vehicle was swerving and driving extremely closely behind several other motorists, before he focused on the motorcyclist," said Sobchyshyn.

Witnesses passed on the licence plate information and a man was later arrested.

Sobchyshyn said alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor in the incident.
