TWO people have been arrested in connection with a road rage attack in York.
The incident happened last month, but North Yorkshire Police have only just released details and appealed for a member of the public who intervened in the incident to come forward.
At about 5pm on Monday, November 12, a man was driving his BMW car and turned right from the A1237 into Boroughbridge Road, before coming to a stop due to traffic.
A police spokesman said: "A man got out of a Renault car that stopped directly behind the BMW. This man opened the door of the BMW, and there was a brief verbal exchange, before he hit the BMW driver.
"A physical altercation followed, at which point a member of the public intervened by trying to separate the two men. The female driver of the Renault car then got out of the car and spat at the BMW driver."
Following enquiries, a man and a woman were arrested on Friday, December 7, in connection with the incident, and have been released under investigation.
Police have urged anyone who saw the incident or the member of the public who intervened at the roadside to contact them on 101 quoting reference 12180211921.
