Police investigating the assault of a motorist at Kedron yesterday afternoon (Friday, October 13) are attempting to identify a black SUV and its male driver.
The incident occurred around 2.50pm at the intersection of Oliver Street and Leckie Road and involved the male drivers of two vehicles, a 1999 red Holden Jackaroo station wagon and what is believed to have been a black Nissan Dualis (see attached images).
The 24-year-old male driver of the Jackaroo was punched several times to the head and flung to the ground after he had pulled over following an altercation in relation to an overtaking manoeuvre that occurred moments before hand.

Dared to be scared this Halloween?
Little zombies, ghosts and witches will soon take to the streets alongside bigger monsters and mummies to celebrate Halloween.
Although Halloween continues to gain popularity in Australia, not everybody in Queensland celebrates this spooktacular night and some may find a group of young vampires or skeletons on their doorstep very confronting.
To help you indicate whether Trick or Treaters are welcome at your house or not, the QPS has created posters that can be displayed at your doorstep or on your letterbox.
If Trick or Treaters are welcome at your home, download and print the poster here: colour and b&w.
If you do not wish to participate, download and print the ‘No thanks’ poster here.
We all love a good scare, but not when it comes to the safety of children. To make sure your Halloween doesn’t become a nightmare, Trick or Treaters should:
Be accompanied by a mother or father monster at all times (or
