A road rage man who punched and kicked another car before assaulting the driver through the window is being sought by police in Chippenham.

The assault took place on the A350 last Wednesday morning between 7.15am and 7.30am. Two vehicles were driving southbound between Cepen Park South, Chippenham and Beanacre, on the outskirts of Melksham.

It is alleged that the driver of a blue Ford Fiesta has been driving aggressively and in a dangerous manner.

Det Sgt Jo Webber said: “This type of behaviour and manner of driving on our roads is simply unacceptable."

“We are appealing for anyone who ay have witnessed this incident or the manner of the driving of the Ford Fiesta beforehand on the A350 from Chippenham onwards.

“I’d particularly like to speak to the driver of a supermarket delivery vehicle that was seen parked on the road with its hazard warning lights on to see if they have any information that could help.
