Shocking moment driver ‘hits man over the head with a ROCK’ after car crash in brutal road rage brawl
THIS is the shocking moment a driver appears to hit a man over the head with a rock in a savage road rage brawl.
The incident took place in Lower Ford Street, Hillfields in Coventry after a Mercedes-Benz driver was reportedly rear ended turning out from a junction towards a roundabout.
According to an eyewitness, the Mercedes driver was taking pictures of his damaged car when the other motorist exited his vehicle to confront him.
Video shows both men throwing punching at each other before ending up on the ground with the Mercedes driver seemingly hitting the other motorist over the head with a rock.
Later on, the motorist can be seen driving his car directly into the side of the Mercedes – completely wrecking the vehicle.
The filmer, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “I saw the Mercedes come out from that junction even though it was not his right of way.
“The other guy in the car behind him was beeping so the Mercedes did an emergency break and the guy behind went straight into the back of him.
“I didn’t film it, but the other man was trying to run the Mercedes driver over at first as he got out of the car to take pictures for insurance.
“When he couldn’t hit him that’s when he drove straight into the side of the Mercedes.
“I was just really shocked to be honest. It looked like a movie scene.
“There was lots of blood.”
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: “Officers arrived to reports of a collision in Lower Ford Street, Coventry, at around 7pm on Wednesday (May 29) involving two vehicles.
“Following the collision, a disorder broke out.
“One man was arrested on suspicion of affray and has since been bailed while the investigation is ongoing.
“Anyone with information can get in touch with us via Live Chat on our website or by calling 101, quoting crime reference 20/538415/24.”
