An 81-year-old man was head-butted in the face during a horrific road rage flare-up in Blairgowrie.

Police are hunting the driver who shouted and swore at the pensioner, before attacking him in the town’s Croft Lane.

The elderly driver was waiting behind an Asda home delivery plan when he was approached by his furious attacker.

The driver, who stepped out of a dark coloured motor, shouted at the OAP before kicking his car.

When the pensioner got out to check for damage, he was assaulted and head-butted on the nose.

His attacker got back in his car and drove off, along Leslie Street.

The assault happened at about 4.30pm on Thursday, December 13.

The suspect is described as white and thought to be in his 40s or early 50s.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: “Officers are looking to trace the driver of a vehicle following a road rage incident in Blairgowrie which left an 81-year-old man with a facial injury.”

Anyone with information about the Blairgowrie incident is urged to call the Police Scotland hotline on 101 or Freephone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, quoting incident number CR/30464/18.
