ROAD rage led to an 18-year-old driver being struck in the face.
Police are appealing for witnesses today after the man told of his ordeal.
He had been driving along Rougham Road in Bury towards the A14 at 10.45am on Wednesday when he became aware of a new-shaped silver Ford Mondeo behind him.
The young man braked on approaching the traffic lights at the final roundabout before the A14 and the silver car accelerated past him and pulled in front.
The male driver of the silver vehicle got out and approached the 18-year-old who also got out of his vehicle.
The Mondeo driver then pushed the young man's baseball cap off and pushed him on the shoulders causing him to fall against his car.
