Springfield police have charged a man following investigations into the alleged assault of a 70-year-old man in Ebbw Vale in July of this year.
At around 2:30pm the man was driving between Brisbane Road and Hoepner Road when he briefly sounded his car horn at another vehicle when it failed to move at a green light.
It will be alleged the driver moved off but at the next red light left his vehicle, punching and damaging the side mirror of the 70-year-old’s car before opening the car door and punching him repeatedly in the head.
Members of the public came to the man’s assistance before the other man fled the scene.
The 70-year-old man was later taken to hospital suffering bruises and a suspected concussion.
The driver of the other vehicle subsequently handed himself into police after being identified by investigators.
