Street sweeper victim of road rage attack

A street sweeper was assaulted during a road rage attack in Cambridge, UK.

The 43-year-old victim was driving his sweeper truck along King's Hedges Drive, towards the junction of King's Hedges Road, when he was overtaken by a black Vauxhall Vectra.

The Vectra stopped in the middle of the road so the victim drove around it. However, the Vectra driver overtook the victim again and this time parked his vehicle across the road so he couldn't pass and got out and confronted him.

The Vectra driver threatened the victim before punching him to the head and then several more times to the body. He then ran to a nearby construction site and got a shovel before chasing after the victim and striking him once to the arm.

The victim, who was not seriously injured, attempted to fight back but the attacker got into his car and drove off.

He is described as about 30, slim, 5'9" to 5'10", with light brown hair.

The incident took place at about 7.40am on Tuesday, April 7 - details have only just been released by police.
