Avon and Somerset Police are appealing for witnesses and any dashcam or other footage of an assault on the A303 between Sparkford and Wincanton.

They say it happened at about 10.50am on Tuesday 1 April, and it comes after two vehicles pulled into a layby following a road-related incident.

We're told a man who had been the passenger in a blue Volvo XC60 reportedly punched and threatened the man driving the other car, a white Range Rover.

If you can help, you are urged to call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5225092925, or complete their online appeals form.
