AN image has been released of a man police would like to speak with following a road rage incident in Bournemouth

The victim, a woman in her 20s, was slapped by the man, who then proceeded to shout abuse at her. 

The victim was a passenger in her friend’s car as they were driving along Ringwood Road, near to the Ringwood Road Retail Park at around 2.30pm on Sunday, June 6.

They became aware of a grey Audi estate car that pulled out in front of them, causing them to brake sharply.

The woman shouted out of the window at the male driver of the Audi.

He got out and walked toward their car before opening the passenger door and slapping the victim in the face and shouting abuse at her.

The man then went back to his vehicle.

The victim did not sustain any injuries that required hospital treatment.
