Assault following incident on the A4500, near Harpole

Detectives investigating a serious assault on the A4500 at the Turnpike junction near Harpole, are appealing for witnesses and dash-cam footage.

Between 4pm and 5pm on Friday, November 22, an altercation occurred between the drivers and passengers of a grey Vauxhall Vivaro van and a blue Volkswagen Polo, which displayed L plates.

The passenger of the van is alleged to have punched the teenage learner driver, resulting in him sustaining concussion and a severe facial injury which required stitches.

The driver of the van has then allegedly assaulted the passenger of the Polo, punching him to the back of the head several times.

Two men – aged 41 and 20 both from Daventry – have been arrested in connection with the assaults and released on police bail pending further enquiries. However, detectives would still like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed or has dash-cam footage of the incident.
