A man was sent to hospital after falling victim in a serious road rage incident.

The fight took place at Beechen Grove next to Watford Skate Park on August 15 at 4.40pm, after a silver pick-up truck and a car – believed to be silver – stopped off at the area.

A man exited the car, which was driven by a woman, while another man got out of his pick-up truck.

The pick-up truck driver was then punched and fell to the floor, as the attacker continued to fight him.

As a result the victim was left with a fractured shoulder, cuts and bruises.

He was sent to hospital for his injuries but is now recovering at home.
