Alleged road rage driver sprays substance at moving victim

A silver sedan driver is accused of trailing behind another car, before yelling aggressively and spraying an unidentified substance at the other driver, ACT Policing said.

Police are seeking witnesses to the alleged road rage incident that occurred about 1pm on Monday, December 27.

The alleged victim was travelling east on Redfern Street towards Bindubi Street in Macquarie, while driving a blue Suzuki Vitara SUV. The silver sedan was travelling behind it.

"It is alleged the silver sedan pulled into the right-hand lane alongside the Suzuki and drove in a manner that almost caused the Suzuki to veer off the road," ACT Policing said.

"It is also alleged the driver of the silver sedan was yelling aggressively and sprayed a substance through the open passenger window of the Suzuki at the driver, causing him to stop his vehicle on the side of the road.

"Shortly after, the silver sedan stopped behind the Suzuki and the driver got out of his car and approached the Suzuki. Another altercation occurred resulting in damage to the Suzuki, and the silver sedan driving off."

Police are seeking any witnesses to the incident, or anyone that may have dashcam footage of the silver sedan around the time of the incident.

Anyone that has information that can assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference 6998416. Information can be provided anonymously.
