Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam vision after a road-rage assault on the M1 at Wahroonga earlier tonight.
Officers have been told the incident began at the intersection of the Pacific Highway and the M1 Motorway northbound about 6.40pm (Monday 4 November 2019), when the driver of a silver Mazda 3 reportedly became angry when the car in front stopped at an amber light.
Police have been told the first car – a silver Volkswagon Golf – and the Mazda 3 stopped a short time later at the first emergency bay on the M1 at Wahroonga, and both drivers got out of their vehicles.
The driver of the Golf, a 29-year-old Central Coast man, has told police he was punched to the ground then kicked by two men from the Mazda3.
The assault only ceased when a passing motorist intervened, and the second vehicle was driven from the scene. The man is now being treated in hospital for facial injuries and bruising.
Officers from Kuring Gai Police Area Command have initiated inquiries.
They have released descriptions of two men they believe can assist with their inquiries.
The first man is described as being of Caucasian appearance, aged in his early to mid-30s, about 180cm tall with a solid build, bald, and at the time he was wearing a t-shirt and shorts.
The second man is described as also being of Caucasian appearance, aged in his early 30s, about 175cm tall with a thin build, and short brown hair. At the time he was wearing a white sleeveless top and shorts.
They are appealing for anyone who witnessed the assault, or who may have dashcam vision of the assault or events leading up to the incident, to call Hornsby Police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence.
