Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was reportedly assaulted twice during a suspected road rage incident in Littlehampton.

The incident happened at around 5.15pm on Monday 2 November, near the junction of Crookhorn Lane and Yapton Road.

Sussex Police said the victim was driving along Crookhorn Lane when he gave way to another vehicle at the junction.

A second vehicle, described as a blue Transit-sized van with both rear door windows missing, then approached Crookhorn Lane from the junction and narrowly avoided colliding with the victim's car.

The van driver allegedly got out of his vehicle and physically assaulted the man through his car window before returning to the van.

When the victim confronted the driver, he was assaulted for a second time, suffering injuries to his head and body.

Officers have launched an investigation and are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about the van or its driver to come forward.

Police are particularly keen to hear from anyone who was travelling in the area at the time and may have information that could assist their enquiries.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Sussex Police online or by calling 101, quoting serial 1077 of 02/11.
