Geelong Crime Investigation Unit is appealing for public assistance after a man was assaulted during a road rage incident in Whittington yesterday.
Police have been told a silver Mitsubishi Lancer containing a woman and two men chased a dark-coloured Ford ute containing two men on Townsend Road at about 8.25am.
The ute crashed into a pole near the intersection of Wilsons Road before a man got out of the Lancer and punched the driver of the ute several times and threatened him with a weapon.
A passer-by attempted to intervene but was also threatened by the man.
The men from the ute then left the scene on foot.
The occupants of the Mitsubishi Lancer left in their car.
The Mitsubishi Lancer was abandoned shortly after on Irwin Court, Whittington.
It is unknown if anyone sustained any injuries during the assault.
Investigators believe the occupants of the Mitsubishi Lancer were all Caucasian in appearance and aged in their 20s.
One of the men is described as having short blonde hair at the top and sides and long hair at the back.
The driver of the ute is believed to have a solid build and a scruffy beard.
Investigators are keen to speak to anyone who knows the identity of the people involved. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at
