Road Rage Horror in Dartford Tunnel

A man in his twenties was left with a fractured eye socket after a brutal road rage attack in the Dartford Tunnel on Sunday afternoon.

Attack After High-Speed Pursuit

At around 2.30pm on January 29, the victim was driving through the A282 Dartford Tunnel from Kent to Essex when two vans started tailing him aggressively. The chase ended just after the tunnel, where the vans forced him to pull over.

Three men jumped out of the vans – a white van and a grey Peugeot – and launched a violent assault before jumping back in and speeding off.
