A woman in Wiltshire has been left 'shaken' after a road rage incident saw a man block her car and then punch in the windows.
The victim, a woman in her 20s, was driving alone when the incident took place on the A350 approaching Melksham.
The woman was allegedly being tailgated by a black Volvo XC40 just after 3pm on Monday afternoon, March 23, when she noticed the owner of the Volvo driving in an "aggressive manner".
When the victim stopped at a red light at the Melksham roundabout joining with Bradford Road, the Volvo driver then pulled in front of her and blocked her from moving.
He proceeded to get out of his car and approach the young woman, shouting and swearing at her.
Police were then called when the aggressive man punched the victim's window, leaving her blocked in and terrified.
