A LORRY driver was sworn at and his cab attacked in a road rage attack. A motorist in a red Ford Orion smashed the driver’s cab window with his fist and abused him when the large lorry blocked the road at Westgate Bay Avenue, Westgate, near Margate.

A police spokeswoman said: “The lorry was being reversed from Ethelbert Square into Westgate Bay Avenue and it did cause a momentary obstruction.”

The car driver is in his mid 30s, stocky, with short dark brown hair. He wore a light coloured sweatshirt.

Anyone who saw the attack that happened at about 9.15am last night should telephone Thanet police, 01843 222179.
