Appeal to trace cyclist after man punched in road-rage incident

Police have released a picture of a man they want to speak to in relation to an assault linked to a road-rage incident.

Officers from the Salford division of Greater Manchester Police released a CCTV image of a cyclist in a green t-shirt and black shorts, and are asking for the public's help to try and trace the man.

The man pictured has long dark hair, with a dark beard, and was carrying a black bag strapped to his body at the time the image was captured. He was also wearing white shoes and sunglasses.

Police are hoping to speak with the man as they investigate a road-rage assault which happened in the Lower Broughton area last month, where a man was punched in the face. He fell to the floor following the assault, but fortunately the only injury he received was swelling to his jaw.

A spokesperson for the force said: "We're wanting to speak to this man as part of our investigation into a road-rage assault in Lower Broughton last month. A man was punched in the face & fell to the floor with a swollen jaw after the incident on Great Cheetham St West."

Anyone with any information about the incident has been asked to contact 16548@gmp.police.uk if they think they can help.
