A young child had to be checked by paramedics after glass was shattered onto them in an apparent road rage incident.

Two men are under investigation by police following the incident which occurred in Chequers Lane, Abbots Langley, at around 12.50pm on Friday, June 11.

Footage of the incident uploaded to Facebook shows what appears to be an argument breaking out between a man and the occupants of a BMW before the car’s rear windscreen was smashed with a shovel.

Glass was then shattered onto a young child who was in the back seat, Hertfordshire Constabulary said.
