Officers Are Looking For Witnesses And Dashcam Footage From An Assault At The Dartford Tunnel Crossing The M25

At around 2.30pm on Sunday, January 29, the victim was driving through the A282 Dartford tunnel from Kent to Essex when he was involved in a “road rage” altercation with two vans.

The driver continued his journey, trailed by the two vans, who forced the driver to pull over immediately after the tunnel.

Three men got out of the two vans, a white van and a grey Peugeot, assaulted the victim, then got back in their vans and drove away.

The victim, in his twenties, required medical attention after suffering a fractured eye socket as a result of the assault.
