Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses after an assault in Salisbury earlier this week.

At around 11pm on Tuesday (July 26) a man in his 20s was pulled from his vehicle in Elm Grove Road after a man accused him of nearly running him over.

The driver was punched numerous times during the assault.

Thankfully he wasn't seriously injured.

Police have now arrested a man in his 20s on suspicion of common assault. He's been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

Officers believe there were witnesses to the incident who've not yet spoken to Police. If this was you, or if you've got CCTV or dash cam footage call 101 and quote crime reference number 54220078887.
