Two people were arrested after a road rage row reportedly ended with a motorist driving through a residential area with a man clinging to his car bonnet.

Police arrived at Nottingham Avenue, Shepway, Maidstone, at about 7.30am on Monday but one of the people involved had already left the scene in a car.

An argument is reported to have broken out after a collision between a blue Mini Cooper, with a Union Jack on its roof, and a parked car outside a parade of shops in Woolley Road, Senacre.

An altercation then took place and police said it was reported that "the Mini briefly drove, at low speed, with a man on the bonnet".

No serious injuries have been reported.

Officers stopped a vehicle on a roundabout near Nottingham Avenue just before 8am and arrested a 35-year-old man from Maidstone on suspicion of a public order offence.

He has since been released without charge.

A 45-year-old man, also from Maidstone, was arrested on suspicion assault and drink driving. He has been bailed until Monday, April 10.

Police said inquiries into the incident are ongoing and anyone with information, or who saw the Mini that morning, is asked to call 01622 604100 quoting 30-141 or contact Kent Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
