FOURWAYS – A road rage incident captured on camera has been publicised by e-Blockwatch in the hope of catching the culprit.

The assault – apparently carried out by the passenger of a Porsche – took place along Witkoppen Road in Fourways near Monte Casino.

The incident was apparently sparked by the victim, who&39;d hooted in annoyance after the Porsche passenger threw rubbish out of the window.

A witness who filmed the incident, said he had been driving along Witkoppen Road when he first noticed the Porsche, because it had been weaving through traffic, driving recklessly and had cut him off.

“We stopped at a robot and the passenger in the Porsche threw something out of his window towards the guy in a Jetta. And then it all kicked off after the guy in the Jetta hooted at him,” the witness said.

The Porsche passenger jumped out of the car, ran to the Jetta and started kicking in the side door, until he damaged the rear view mirror. He then started punching the driver in the face.

The Porsche passenger then reached into the Jetta, grabbed the keys out of the ignition before angrily throwing them away, said the witness.

“At that stage I accidentally stopped filming. But after that, the guy just basically carried on laying into the driver, punching him in the face. Then he got back in the Porsche and they sped off,” the witness said.

The witness says he stopped to speak to the victim, help calm him down and help him find his keys.

“I spoke to him after and he was badly rattled hey. He said his wife and kids had been in a car about two minutes ahead of him, so they didn&39;t see what happened,” said the witness.

He says he called 10111 for help, but was instructed to go and open a case at a police station.

According to the witness, the driver of the Porsche appeared to be in his mid-fifties, while his angry passenger appeared to be “a bit younger”.

The footage has been passed on to community crime network e-Blockwatch who will put on its facebook page. Public calls have also been made for any information relating to the matter.

“We are hoping that we will be able to help track down the guy who did this. It’s really bad and he needs to be caught,” said Andre Snyman, founder and head of e-Blockwatch.

The witness has also given the footage to the victim to assist him in opening an assault case.

A case has since been opened at Douglasdale police station.

Anyone with information can report it on the e-Blockwatch site.
