Footage has emerged of a man being punched in the face by an angry driver in a shocking road rage attack.
The male attacker attempted to nose his way in front of the other driver’s car in South Yarra, Melbourne and the two became involved in a verbal argument while sounding their horns.
He then got out of his silver Honda, approached the 53-year-old man's window and began violently punching him at around 2pm on Toorak Road.
The victim climbed out of his car to read his attacker's registration details but was allegedly punched several more times, police say.
Victoria Police released a statement appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
'Police have been told the victim, a 53-year-old Toorak man, was driving a silver Volkswagen east along Toorak Road in the left hand lane about 2pm,' the statement reads.
'The driver of a silver Honda Civic, in the centre lane, attempted to nose his way in front of the victim’s car as they approached the intersection of Williams Road.
The victim drove around the front of the Honda and continued travelling towards the intersection.'
He sustained a concussion after the blows and is now recovering in hospital.
Police are now on the hunt for the man after releasing CCTV footage of the attacker wearing a maroon shirt and blue jacket.
