Witness Appeal Following Road Rage Incident In Rubery

Police are appealing for witnesses after receiving a report of an assault which took place in Rubery, following a road rage incident.

It happened at about 6.45pm in New Road, on Saturday, 17 December, and involved the male driver of a grey Ford Focus and two men in a Blue Renault Megane.

The incident initially started in Callowbrook Lane and progressed to New Road. There was an altercation between two of the men which left one of them with bruising to his face.

PC John Coleman said: "We believe that at the time of the incident there would have been quite a few other cars on the roads in that area and therefore someone must have seen what happened.

"We would urge anyone that remembers seeing the incident to call us as soon as possible as they may be able to help us with our investigation."

A man in his 20s has been arrested in connection with the incident and has been released on police bail until January 7, pending further inquiries.

Witnesses or anyone with information are asked to contact PC Coleman at on 0300 333 3000, quoting incident 607-S-171211, or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
