Female motorist thrown to groundin road rage attack

Police in Britain have released CCTV footage of the moment a woman grabbed a female motorist and wrestled her to the ground in broad daylight in an unprovoked road rage attack.

She launched the assault, outside a grocers in Birmingham’s Handsworth Wood on July 30 at 1pm, after being asked to move the car she was in because it was blocking the road. West Midlands Police said the victim, a woman aged 44, was attacked twice in the incident. She suffered a lump to her head and bruising.

She was driving her Ford C-Max when she was blocked in by a grey VW Touran. The male driver had gone to nearby shops but there was a woman in the passenger seat.

The female driver asked the passenger how long they were going to be, only to be blasted with abuse.

The Ford driver decided to take another route and parked nearby to go to the shops. CCTV footage shows that as she walked towards the shops, the passenger of the Touran got out, grabbed her by the hair, threw her over a table outside the grocers, before pulling her to her feet by the hair and throwing her on the floor.

West Midlands Police said the passenger then went to a nearby shop but returned to see the woman noting down the car registration number and assaulted her again.
