A driver stopped traffic to punch another motorist in a road rage attack.

Police say the attacker got out of his Fiat Punto and walked along a

queue of cars before targeting the 20-year-old driver of a VW Polo in Haslett Avenue East, Crawley.

He pulled open the door of the Polo, hit the driver in the face, got back in his car and drove off.

Police believe there had earlier been an incident where one car had been cut up by the other, sparking the attack.

They said the attacker was of Asian appearance, with short hair and wearing a blue baseball cap.
