We are appealing for witnesses after a man racially abused a driver and smashed a car windscreen with a hammer in a road rage incident in Barton-under-Needwood.
At around 6.10pm on Thursday 31 October, the driver of a red Toyota overtook a white Jaguar which was being driven by the victim on Dunstall Road.
The Toyota then pulled in front of the Jaguar and stopped.
The driver of the Toyota, a man, got out and approached the victim, who wound his window down.
It is reported that the suspect then made racist comments before hitting and smashing the windscreen with a hammer.
He got back in the Toyota and drove off.
The victim was shaken but not injured.
We’re keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened, or those with CCTV or dashcam of the area at the time. Call 101, quoting incident 311 of 6 November.
