A man was punched during a road rage incident in Watford.

The 24-year-old was driving along Sheepcot Lane when he was involved in a collision with a Vauxhall Astra at around 4.40am last Thursday.

The driver of the Astra got out of the car and punched the victim in the face, causing minor injuries.

The Astra driver is described as a white man and his car is believed to be light coloured.

PC Erik Gale, from the Watford Intervention Team, is investigating, said: “I’m appealing for information or anyone who witnessed this incident.

"The victim’s car sustained substantial damage in the collision and it would have caused a lot of noise, so despite the time of the collision, I’m hoping that someone might have seen what happened.”
