Shock as yob repeatedly punches mother in front of children in 'sickening' road rage attack
A mother is recovering after being battered by a driver in a "sickening road rage attack" in front of her children.
Kate Darby, 36, pulled over to let two ambulances through on Thorns Road, Quarry Bank, on Sunday afternoon only to be viciously punched by an irate driver.
The speeding yob was forced to brake hard and then proceeded to get out of his car, walk to her vehicle, and punch her three times in the face before driving off.
The primary school worker had three children in the car who were left traumatised by the attack. Kate was taken to hospital after the incident where she received treatment for her facial injuries.
She said: "I can’t believe he did that to me and in front of the three boys, it was shockingly violent."
Kate says she phoned 999 and was told by the operator that as her attacker had driven off she was not in danger, and they would be in touch in the next three to five days.
