A mum says she's been having sleepless nights after an enraged driver pinned her to her car.

Samantha Campbell had just dropped her three-year-old daughter Freya off at nursery when she stopped for another car down Simmonds Lane, Otham, near Maidstone.

The self employed make up artist said: "I pulled over to let him get by and and he just lost it.

"He got out of his car, he was shouting and being aggressive telling me to move even though I'd left room for him to get past.

"I said to him how old are you? He was in his 50s at least but I couldn't believe how he was behaving.

"He got back into his car and I thought I would get out and show him around it as there's a tight bend in the road.

"Before I knew it he was bombing past me and I was pinned against my car. If I was any shorter he would have clipped my hip and I could have fallen underneath his car.

The incident happened at around 9.10am on Wednesday, December 4.

The mother-of-two said she's suffered bruising, muscle spasms and is struggling to turn her neck after the incident.

Mrs Campbell, 39, said: "The bruising will heal but I'm still affected by what happened, I suffer with anxiety any way and this has made it worse.

"What if my daughter was in the car? She's already realised something happened and is asking a lot of questions about it."

Mrs Campbell, from Langley, near Maidstone, managed to get the first four digits of the mystery motorist's licence plate on his sky blue Ford Focus.

She has gone to Kent Police but is hoping others in the area may recognise the driver.

Mrs Campbell, who was driving her black Mercedes, said: "I just think he needs a talking to. Someone else said they saw a similar car driving erratically in the area. It's just not safe and there's no need to be so aggressive, you know it wouldn't have been the same if I wasn't a woman."

The man is described as being white, in his late 50s or early 60s, 5ft 8in with grey hair. He was wearing glasses, a blue top and tracksuit bottoms.

Insp Mark Hedges of the Maidstone Community Safety Unit said: "The suspect was possibly driving a Ford Focus with a partial number plate similar to KY07.

"Investigators would like to hear from anybody who may know the driver or might have seen the vehicle in the Otham area. Anyone who was in the village at the time of the incident with dash cam fitted to their vehicle should also get in contact."

Anyone with information is asked to call Kent Police on 01622 604 100 crime reference quoting 46/231387/19.
