Road Rage Row Ends in Violent Attack
A man was seriously assaulted after a road rage incident on Church Lane, New Romney, last December. Between 3.45pm and 6pm on Wednesday 14 December 2022, tempers flared when a white van and a black Volkswagen Golf couldn’t pass each other on a narrow stretch of road.
Attack After Heated Altercation
The white van driver was approached by two men and assaulted at the scene, suffering a head injury. He was rushed to a local hospital for treatment.
