Sickening road rage attack sees motorist hit victim over the head with a rock

A brawl broke out between two drivers after a rear ending incident in Coventry and saw one motorist hit over the head with a rock and another ram into the side of the other’s car.

A shocking video shows a man being hit over the head with a rock after a violent road rage argument broke out between two drivers after a minor collision.

It’s reported that the incident took place after a Mercedes was rear ended by an SUV while turning out from a junction on a road in Coventry. According to an eyewitness, the Mercedes driver had exited his car to take pictures of the damage when the driver of the other car approached to confront him. 

The video footage shows as the men break out in a physical fight, with each throwing punches at the other until eventually, they fall to the floor. The Mercedes driver then hits the other motorist with a rock over the head. Later on in the video, the SUV motorist drives his vehicle directly into the side of the Mercedes, causing significant damage to the car.

The person who took the footage, who wished to remain anonymous, compared the whole ordeal to something out of a film. They said: "I saw the Mercedes come out from that junction even though it was not his right of way. The other guy in the car behind him was beeping so the Mercedes did an emergency break and the guy behind went straight into the back of him. 

"I didn’t film it, but the other man was trying to run the Mercedes driver over at first as he got out of the car to take pictures for insurance. When he couldn’t hit him that’s when he drove straight into the side of the Mercedes. I was just really shocked to be honest. It looked like a movie scene. There was lots of blood."
