WITNESSES are being sought to a road rage attack in which a driver was punched in the face.

It happened in Kingsmead Road, Canterbury, at around 4pm on Monday when a 51-year-old man was attacked after he sounded his horn at a driver he claimed had "cut him up".

The victim was driving near Kingsmead roundabout when a dark blue Peugeot 406 overtook and pulled in front, forcing him to brake hard.

When the victim sounded his horn the offender got out of his vehicle and punched him through the open car window.

The victim got out of his car and was punched again before the offender returned to his car, which appeared to contain the rest of his family and dove off.

He is described as white, aged between 40 and 50 with short hair.

Police are studying CCTV of the area and anyone who can help should contact Det Sgt Mark Dennis on 01227 762055.
