Road rage bashing

A man was punched to the head twice and broke his ankle during a road-rage assault in Dandenong last Friday week.

Police believe the 31-year-old Hastings man had earlier flashed his headlights at a dark-coloured sedan and a silver hatchback because they were being driven erratically about 9.30pm on August 17.

The man had a verbal exchange with the hatchback driver and the three cars drove until the hatch braked in front of the blue sedan, causing the man to stop short after the intersection of Frankston-Dandenong Road and Lonsdale Street.

Police want to speak to a female brunette driver of the sedan and the hatchback’s driver, described as in his mid 20s and of Middle Eastern or European appearance.
