10:18am Friday 17th October 2003

A COUPLE had their car window smashed showering the woman with glass during a road-rage incident.

The young couple from St Albans were on the way to watch Watford play Walsall on Tuesday when they say they were cut up by a dark coloured H-registered Honda Civic or Honda Prelude.

After they flashed their lights, the driver of the Honda began reversing towards them.

The incident at about 6.30pm in St Albans Road, near TGI Friday, was witnessed by an off-duty special constable.

Special constable Nikki Bowles said: "First he stopped by braking hard and then started to reverse.

"Then he got out and punched his fist through the passenger window and drove off at high speed."

Concerned for the safety of the female passenger the special constable flagged the Peugeot down to find the girl shaken by the incident.

Special Constable Bowles said: "The girl was covered in glass. They were really nice but really shaken up."

Police confirmed the driver of the Honda was a black male about 6.1" tall with a stocky build.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to telephone the western area road policing unit on 01923 472320.
