Runner spits in woman’s face after road rage incident

Police are appealing for information after a woman was spat in the face by a runner in Brockworth.

The incident took place on Ermin Street on Sunday 10 January in the morning. The victim had been driving down the road when a female runner stepped in front of the car as she was crossing the road.

The car just missed the runner, believing it caused the woman to become agitated which created a disagreement between the two, ending with the runner spitting in the victim’s face.

Running and outdoor exercise is still permitted during the current UK lockdown

The female runner is described as being 40-years-old, white with blonde and brown hair, and was wearing a navy beanie, dark body warmer and running leggings. She was also reported to be with a man with dark hair and muscular build, also in running gear.

The police are taking the assault seriously, with such a crime causing a high risk to the victim due to the rise of COVID-19 cases in the county.

Gloucestershire police are keen to identify the woman and the man, and have encouraged anyone with information to contact police using their website.
