A motorist has been attacked in what appears to have been a road rage incident in Copthorne.

The 67-year-old victim was travelling with his wife Monday evening.  They were followed by another car as they exited the M23.

Whilst driving along the A264 near Crawley, the driver of this other car overtook the victim, stopped and got out of his car.  It is at this point the offender is believed to have attacked the victim before driving off.

A 29-year-old man from Crawley has been arrested on suspicion of assault.
