Police are appealing for dashcam footage after an 18-year-old reported a horror road-rage incident on the Princes Highway.
A NSW Police spokesperson said that about 10:40 pm on Monday, 16 September, an 18-year-old man was driving his silver Hyundai hatchback east on Tongarra Road, Albion Park.
“Police were told a Ford Territory approached the Hyundai and flashed its lights, so the driver of the Hyundai pulled to the side of the road to let the car past,” the police spokesperson said.
“Both cars continued and turned left onto the northbound lanes of the Princes Highway towards Wollongong.
“The Ford then drove next to the Hyundai when the driver of the Hyundai sighted what appeared to be a nail gun or similar from the passenger-side window of the Ford.
“A short time later, the driver of the Hyundai was struck in the nose by an object, causing him to bleed.
“The driver of the Ford drove off and the driver of the Hyundai travelled to nearby Hargraves Lane, Albion Park, where he stopped the vehicle and located an object believed to be a nail in the driver’s-side footwell.”
An investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Officers from Lake Illawarra Police District have released CCTV images appealing for information about a car whose driver could assist with inquiries.
The vehicle is described as a white Ford Territory with black-and-white number plates.
Anyone with dashcam footage who was travelling along Tongarra Road, the Princes Highway and Station Street, Albion Park, between 10:50 pm and 11:05 pm on the night of the alleged incident is urged to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
