Witness appeal following road-rage incident in Blackwater

We are appealing for witnesses and information after a man was injured following a road-rage incident in Blackwater.

Just before 2pm on Sunday 31 December, a man in his 40s was driving a black car along Hawley Road when a silver van attempted to overtake him.

The van driver was unable to pass due to oncoming traffic. While stationary, an argument occurred.

Two men exited the van, along with the driver of the black vehicle.

Moments later, the man in the car was injured following an altercation. He suffered a broken leg and had to be taken to hospital. 

Since this was reported to us, officers have been carrying out various lines of enquiries and would like to appeal to the public for help.

Were you in the area at the time? Did you see what happened? Perhaps you have dash-cam footage of the moments leading up to, during or shortly after the incident?

If you have any information about this incident, please contact police on 101, quoting 44230531933.
