Police are hunting for a driver who hit a car with what is suspected of being a baseball bat in broad daylight after a collision in Perthshire.
The incident happened on the A9 southbound, around five miles north of Bankfoot at around 1.45pm on Sunday (August 26).
A grey Vauxhall Astra pulled in front of a red Mercedes A-class and braked suddenly, leading to a minor collision.

The driver of the Astra then got out of his car and hit the Mercedes with a “baseball bat or similar item” a number of times before the Mercedes driver was able to drive away.
The driver of the Astra is described as a white male with tanned complexion, about 5ft 9, stocky build and with very short dark hair and facial stubble, and was wearing a grey short sleeved t-shirt and blue jeans at the time.
