UPDATE: 11:20 a.m.
Officers with the Abbotsford Police Department have contacted the hate crimes unit and Crown counsel as they investigate a man shouting racial taunts.
Sgt. Judy Bird says the disturbing incident on Friday has been posted online.
She describes a man upset about a ticket issued for parking in a reserved space getting out of a truck and walking aggressively way toward the person who issued the ticket and someone else who is recording the incident.
Bird says police are not yet certain if the initial target of the slurs by a passenger in the truck was an Abbotsford bylaw officer or an employee of a private parking firm.
She says the person who was recording the incident is also taunted with a series of expletives that are shocking and upsetting.
Baird says everyone involved has now been identified and further progress on the case is expected.

A racist tirade caught on camera in Abbotsford is going viral.
The confrontation began over a vehicle parked in a reserved spot.
It's blowing up on Facebook, but is so full of vulgar language we won't share it here.
Abbotsford Police say the incident happened near Pauline Street and South Fraser Way.
A man in the Ford truck became irate over a ticket issued by a bylaw officer and started yelling at the officer and a worker in the building who recorded the verbal assault on his phone.
At one point, the man can be heard yelling "white power."
Police are investigating the confrontation.
