Driver Attacked Following Road Rage Incident
Police say a man threw an object at a dark-coloured car as it drove down Bexhill Road. The female driver stopped and confronted him. That’s when the suspect punched her, knocking her to the ground and leaving her with facial injuries.
The attacker then ran off towards the Harley Shute traffic lights. Sussex Police describe him as about 6 feet tall, with dark facial hair, wearing a black puffer jacket and carrying a black rucksack.
