A driver who beeped his horn when a car tried to cut into his lane was assaulted and had his van damaged by two men.

The 46-year-old man was driving a Western Power van on the A46 Nettleham Road, close to the Nettleham roundabout, at around 5pm on Thursday, January 7 when the car attempted to cut in front of him.

When he horned the driver, two men got out, damaging the van and assaulting him.

The victim was not seriously injured as a result.

Lincolnshire Police are unsure of the make and model of the car the two offenders were travelling in, but believe it is possible it could have been a white Mercedes.

The force have also been unable to obtain a description of the offenders but are appealing for witnesses and information.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has information should contact Lincolnshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 271 of January 7.
